Yes to what has already been stated. Usually, we will simply list the digits.
The exception is if the decimal represents something tangible and always in pieces, like money. We would say $10.69 as "ten, sixty-nine," not "ten point six nine." "Ten, sixty-nine" is shortened from "Ten dollars, sixty-nine cents." Another example is in holy texts with chapter and verse numbers, sometimes people will write them as 4.15. There again, it is pronounced "four, fifteen" rather than "four point one five." Here the number after the decimal is referring to the verse, not a partial chapter.
When we know the units from context, we oftentimes will leave off the units entirely. However, if the decimal represents a partial unit (.25 of a sandwich), we will list the digits.

For Pi...
You pronounce it like "Pie". As in Apple Pie.
Not like "Pee", as in "I need to pee".
For other numbers you simply list out the numbers after the decimal.
10.69 = ten point six nine
10.24% = ten point two four percent

Depends on who you want to be.
If you want to be academic, educated, then as below 3 point 1, 4, 1, 5, 9, 2, 6, 5, 3, 5, 9, ... & ten <point> 2, 4 %
If you want to be in the movies acting as a scientist, it seems ten point twenty-four percent is preferred.
Sad, but seems to be true.
Enjoy.
