You can see the remnants of the krausen clinging to the sides of the bucket. Your beer did go through primary fermentation. The new yeast wasn't needed as you have a 1.010 reading which is consistent with a healthy fermentation. In the future you can look for the ring developing and dropping on the side of the bucket as a sign of fermentation.
Don't over complicate the process, it's just beer. As many have said airlock activity is not an indicator of fermentation. Buckets often have bad seals which let co2 escape. Wild yeast can't crawl so keep your lid on and you'll be ok.
Original gravity and final gravity measurements are indications of fermentation, and the completion of fermentation.
