Give Apple a call. Tarik is correct, AppleCare is treated like a
product/service that needs 'activation', not just a plan you pay for.

When you purchase it online however - you are usually choosing for a
specific model.. Since the new book is still a PowerBook G4, I would think
it's fine. (call 1 800 My Apple)
