File format vs Version

I see that embedded it states "Access 2002-2003 file format".

Will an application built in 03 have any problems running on a machine with
02?

It shouldn't. It's trying to tell you that the two versions of Access share
the same file format.

Note, however, that is possible that anytime an application is developed on
one machine and run on a different machine, there's always a chance of a
problem with the References collection. (Heck, even on the same machine
there can be problems if you install new software!) Check

this topic that you probably want to know. <g>

An MDB could be fine but as Doug states with some issues.

However an MDE created in A2003 will not run in A2002.
