Incidentally, I'm currently on game version 1.01.21, so suppose I create a scenario with it and put it up for download; will it be playable by other people who have earlier or later game versions?
Not neccesarily, no. You can't expect a scenario to work as intended if it relies on features that didn't exist in a previous version of the game.
So when you release your scenario its good form to indicate what version of the game it was created with or is currently compatible with. It is then the responsibility of the player to upgrade their game so it at least matches that.
Going forward in time, new versions of the game are less likely to break the scenario however this is not a given as the developers are never going to stunt development just in case it breaks a modders scenario. If that happens, it's the modders responsibility to fix and/or re-export their scenario and provide it to the public. Maintenance of your own scenarios is part and parcel of releasing them to the public.
