Is this the sort of thing that works on any CAN bus car, or are older cars immune to it since their ignition might not be on this same system?
Is my 11 year old car a little more "steal" proof to these elegant methods?

Any CAN bus? No, it takes time to sniff the bus and get all the control messages, older cars may be especially vulnerable since they likely don't have as many security precautions in place.
CAN has been in cars for quite a long time, the infiltration systems haven't due to high-cost/lack of electronics.
On a side note, the hack talked about in the article could be performed by a Arduino UNO and a $5 can bus transceiver.
