If you have downloaded an Oracle database, Developer Suite, etc. and used it for educational purposes (i.e. free of charge), you didn't get a CSI (Support Identifier). Once you start making money with your application, you must purchase the product(s), pay (a lot) of money and then you'll get a CSI. For us, mortals, employer (i.e. a company you work for) buys a licence and gets the CSI which is then used during registration process.
In other words: you might not be able to register with Metalink at all (but it depends on your current status).

Patches do change version number, but - in most cases - not "major" numbers are changed.
I don't have Developer Suite release name description, but here's an example of an Oracle database release name description: Oracle 9.2.0.1.0 means:
9 - Major database release number
2 - Database Maintenance release number
0 - Application server release number
1 - Component specific release number
0 - Platform specific release number
Patch will, for example (note that this really IS an example, an imaginary one) modify release name to 9.2.0.2.0, the next one to 9.2.0.2.1, the third patch will modify it to 9.2.0.3.1 etc.
Basically, main release name remains the same. Developer Suite 6i will remain 6i. As patches (usually) fix bugs from previous releases, it is expected that forms designed by Forms 6i patch 13 will run on any 6i release. However, you may expect that a form developed by using a higher release number which uses some "fixed" features will NOT properly work on lower release number.
So: it will work, but not always.
