Obviously enough, changes to nginx source code can introduce API 
and/or ABI incompatibilities and modules needs to be recompiled if 
it's the case.  

For normal users following releases, there is a version check when 
loading a module: nginx will check if the module was compiled for 
the particular nginx version, and will refuse to load the module 
if the version doesn't match.

If you are a developer and you are doing some local changes 
to nginx sources - version check in question won't help (as the 
version stays the same) and you are responsible to recompile nginx 
and modules if there are any API/ABI changes introduced.
