I would recommend reaching out to the author of the plugin and asking if it is compatible with 18.2. One thing you can also try is to install the plugin in a Dev environment and run an Appian Health Check to see if it flags any removed, private, or deprecated APIs. If not, I would assume it still works in 18.2 but of course would recommend testing it fairly thoroughly. 
 
Thanks,

Many plug-ins continue to work on later versions of Appian as long as they aren't using any removed or deprecated APIs. On the AppMarket, plug-in compatibility is only updated when the author or another user provides an update to the AppMarket indicating that it was tested successfully on a newer version. In many cases users continue to use the plug-ins on a later version but don't necessarily report compatibility back. It is recommended that users test all plug-ins and applications in their environment to make sure it is working as intended. 
 
Therefore, I agree with daniell's response and recommend you deploy it on your Dev environment, run the health check and test it out.
