Thats correct, there are several big changes between V2 and V3.
They are not compatible. You can do some things to make a script
compatible but in the general case you cannot run 2.x scripts in 3.x

If you have the latest 2.x release you can run some 3.x code in
them by importing from future but its not fullproof. Similarly there 
is
a convertion script from 2 to 3 but again its not follprooof, it just
handles the most common cases. See the documentation for v3
for more details.
