Think of it like this - the sound barrier, right? If something is traveling at subsonic speeds, it's fair to measure its speed in MPH or KPH or whatever the preferred metric is. Warp and transwarp are different ways of measuring a ship's velocity relative to the outside world (since a ship in a warp bubble is theoretically stationary, it just warps the space around it to actually break the light barrier, insert technobabble as you see fit). Having said that, Warp 10 and transwarp are not the same term, but they aren't unrelated either. It's definitely important to note that Threshold is really bad.

It seems to be the only episode anyone brings up, you know? 'Brannonīraga, who wrote 'Threshold'!' Out of a hundred and some episodes, I've written well over a hundred episodes of Star Trek, yet People are very unforgiving about thatĮpisode. TNG's Producer Brannon Braga describes it thusly As well as being recognised as the single worst episode of Voyager (and frequently voted the "worst of trek"), even the writers accept that there were many technical failings with the description of how Transwarp works in the episode.

It's important to recognise that the episode that you're referring to is about as close as a TV episode can get to becoming "non-canon".
