For programming you actually need 3 I/Os- MCLR/VPP, PGC (clock), PGD (data). The MCLR/VPP gets you into programming mode, but the data is sent over the PGC/PGD pair. You don't necessarily need a high voltage to program the 10F322, but MCLR/VPP still needs to be controlled to get it into the right mode.
