Visual Studio 2012 - MS Excel 2013 Templates only, backward compatibility?

I'll be starting a new project in Visual Studio 2012, using a VB Excel template but the only options are for Excel 2013 (there are three options around Add-in, Template or Workbook) but majority of the users will be using 2007 and 2010 Excel.

Would an Excel 2013 project be backward compatible with 2007 and 2010? Or must I download a separate template that is not offered in the vanilla version of VS2012?

Thanks :)

These are the project options:
