Absolutely correct if you're using pre-built packages.

1.0.30 is the most recent version as of writing but 1.0.31 is scheduled
for 2020-08-23.

You could of course try compiling from source.

You can find the SANE Project's backends at

  https://gitlab.com/sane-project/backends

and a *release* source archive in the Other section of

  https://gitlab.com/sane-project/backends/-/releases/1.0.30

You want the sane-backends-1.0.30.tar.gz file.

# The Source code Assets are lacking some generated files and require
# additional tools in order to build.

Hope this helps,
