Hi :) It's a "how long is a piece of string" type question. The simple answer is yes - they both use the same languages, systems, protocols and formats. However, LibreOffice has been substantially rewritten and has developed fast over the few years that it's been around now. Almost everyting that had been written in Java is now written in something more reliable such as Python or C++. Some people say the 2 programs are hugely different now even if they appear to look the same on the surface to most of us normal users.
Clever Extensions/Add-on/Plug-in writers may have written their code to be flexible enough to cope with the quite radical changes but some may not have foreseen so much change. Also some Extensions may have been written in the past few years to help with functionality which LO does have but OO doesn't. Some of the older Extensions written for OO that don't work might be easy for a dev to upgrade to work on both but some are under proprietary licenses and may need the original devs to do the upgrade. For the most part they might well be pleased to hear that people are still keen on their Extensions and might well help.
