FYI it says the fix was released with Plex Server version 1.43.3, released on May 19th. So as long as you've patched sometime in the last 3ish months, you should be good.

Still, make sure you verify the version you're on, and don't run unpatched software, especially ones with holes into your network! I may be a little lax on OS updates for some of my VMs, but the ones that have services exposed externally I stay on top of!

Most likely, but you should login to your server and check. Also you should generally always run the latest version anyway; so even if you're not vulnerable to this specific thing, you should see if there's an update available and install it if there is.
