But it is also a 77mm lens. So would i need a 100mm filter for this UWA lens?
You'll be fine with the size of the Cokin P system (or equivalent) which is about 85mm. However, when you get your 10-20 you could have a problem with this system. Even with the wide-angle filter holder you will still get vignetting up to about 12mm, after that you'll be OK.
I resolved this by modifying the wide-angle holder to take one filter only (instead of two), but it's a bit of a fiddly operation.
