That will generally be true IF the program includes a version
statement; if not it can get broken in later versions of Stata.
Also, post-estimation commands can get broken even if they use
version control. This can occur if the estimation command changes
its ereturned results. Various post-estimation commands for ologit
and oprobit got zapped in version 9 because the format of e(b)
changed. One solution was/is to run the estimation commands
themselves with version control. outreg2 and estout are
post-estimation commands, so it wouldn't surprise me if they some day
got zapped by a change in Stata.
I'm kind of surprised that version control works as well as it
does. Support for version control seems to be unique to official
Stata programs, e.g. you can do version 8: ologit but I don't think
I've ever seen anything like version 8: userwrittencommand. Instead,
authors might have something like userwrittencommand7 for a version
of the command written for Stata 7.
