Is the Chrome Driver Management module downloading the latest version or is it downloading the correct version of my Chrome version?

I know this code allows you to download and use the most recent version of the chrome driver.

    driver = webdriver.Chrome(ChromeDriverManager().install(), chrome_options=options)

If my version of chrome is an older version, does that code matter? Or does that code download a chrome driver for my version of Chrome?

here what official doc says :

Python module to facilitate downloading and deploying WebDriver binaries. The classes in this module can be used to automatically search for and download the latest version (or a specific version) of a WebDriver binary and then extract it and place it by copying or symlinking it to the location where Selenium or other tools should be able to find it then.
