Welcome in the fascinating world of PSoCs!
Unfortunately: No, not all example projects run on every PSoC family. The PSoC4 chip has different internal resources than the PSoC3/5 and so there are examples for
PSoC1
PSoC4
and PSoC3 and 5 which have got similar internal hardware despite of the CPU (8051 vers. ARM Cortex M3)
To start with PSoC the cheapest would be to use a PSoC4 Pioneer Kit but in my opinion for the target of learning I would recommend the PSoC 5 -050 Kit which comes equipped with a 2-lined display making the look inside the PSoC somewhat easier than just to blink some LEDs.
When it comes to build spin-off projects you will always look for the smallest chip the project fits into which may be a PSoC4.
The PSoC1 chip is very versatile, but lacks the easy-to-use debug capability all other PSoCs have got, making the initial equipment to get some more expensive.

Cost PSOC 5 > PSOC 3 > PSOC 1 > PSOC 4 Approximate
Some subtle differences as well, PSOC 4 only family with full 32 x 32 multiplier,
and UDB count < 4 although many common PWM, Counter, Timer facilties now
fixed hardware, so comparing UDB to UDB count a little misleading.
PSOC 1 tool, Designer, although a good tool simply not as flexible and productive
as PSOC 3, 4, 5 tool Creator.

Don't guess, look at prices on Cypress website -
PSOC 1 $ .99 to $ 11
PSOC 3 $ 3.04 to $ 20.31
PSOC 4 $ 1.41 to $ 1.92
PSOC 5LP $ 5.01 to $ 10.90
These are relative for prices shown on website, no volume stated, and are stated as budgetary.

Actually, a lot of PSOC3 and PSOC5 tutorials work well for PSOC4. You just have to keep in mind the functionality not present / limited in PSOC4.

From within Creator select "Example Projexts" in Start-Page. when you now change the family to PSoC4 you'll get a brief list of all examples for this device.

Also in Creator, when you place a module, you can right click it on schematic,
pick "Find Example Project", and either open it as a new project or add it
to your current workspace, where you can cut/paste code into your application
specific workspace.
