This is currently already the case for cheats. When the game updates then the cheat needs to be updated as well. And you can definitely catch cheaters with the method you mentioned, so many cheats check the game version before doing anything.
This means immediately after an update many cheats stop working until they’re updated (or their creator flags the new game version as compatiable)

Obviously the cheat developer could just hash the game files directly and halt if there's a discrepancy between the known-vulnerable versions, but it'd be interesting to see whether that was tried with any highly-cheated-in games.
