Those addresses are not routable _over the internet_ but within your LAN 
they are routable. It depends on your routers if the subnets can see each 
other.

OTOH, as we are talking about NAT, we aren't talking about routable. The 
ping of the OP is translated from the 10.* address within the VM to the 
IP of the host which seems to be 192.168.11.100, i.e. the target machine 
sees a ping from the host, which is in the same subnet.
