Want to convert my DT Swiss 240s rear hub from QR to 10mm bolt-through (have already done so to front, with 9mm).

Is this what, and all, I need?

When I did the conversion I had a new axle as well as end caps, , but it was a 240 rather than 240s if that makes a difference?

Yes, but I think the 6-bolt and centre lock versions maybe use different end caps? Worth checking before buying.

I have roval traverse el wheels and the hub is based on either 240 or 240s hub.. initially told was the 240 hub so nesded the axle and caps.. since seen a thread on mtbr where joe roval (from the company) states its just endcaps cos its based on the 240s...? Hopefully it is, cos a new hub axle is a bit steep!
Thru axle wise I'd just get a superstar one.. prob heavier but a third of the price..
