You shouldn't have to worry about any of that unless you're directly downloading the VSIX from the Marketplace (and if you are, see this answer on how to do that appropriately). VS Code itself will handle compatibility with your installation of VS Code.

But specifically, the Marketplace hosts both our stable and pre-releases. You can opt into either track of releases and VS Code will grab the right version for you. What you're seeing as the newest pre-releases we release every night.
