Yes, it applies to all years. The best way to avoid the penalty all together is to make sure you pay in at least as much as your tax was for 2022. If you know you will make approximately the same income that's an easy method. If not, as indicated you can use the annualized income method to avoid late payment next year if most of your income is in the last quarter. See the link below for reasons a penalty could be eliminated.
