The term is often applied to a "pocket veto" meaning an indirect veto, which involves an executive holding a legislative bill until it is too late to return to the legislature as refused (vetoed).
In the more generic sense, an automatic veto is one that is expected or assured by previous uses of the veto power (as in the UN security council). Similarly, a bill passed by a state legislature against the express wishes of a governor can be said to face an automatic veto.

What is it called when the president doesn't sign the automatic veto within 10 days?
It is called a "pocket veto". Essentially meaning the President put it in his pocket and ignored it.
Is pocket veto the same as automatically veto?
The two terms are often used for the same action. The "pocket veto" is when a President (or other executive where applicable) simply holds a bill without signing it, so that Congress adjourns before the bill can be returned (as vetoed). This may be called an "automatic veto", because it requires no action on the President's part. It is similarly referred to as an "indirect veto" because no actual veto statement takes place. It is also an "absolute veto", or intended to be, because the Congress cannot vote to override it and pass the bill. (see related link)
