Yes. It's a bug, should be fixed in the next release.
Reported as https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-17496

This depends on the plugin type. Key management plugins are supposed to
work across versions, but, for example, storage engines aren't.

You totally can.

To build debian packages, clone the repository (or download the source
tarball) and run debian/autobake-deb.sh. But because of the bug, you'll
need to change that script to force aws plugin to be built (like, remove
the if around it).

Or you can build by calling cmake and make, that'll work too, of course.
