A few years ago, ext4 was regarded as "experimental". The default filesystem that the Debian-Installer offered was ext3, with ext4 as an option (along with ext2 and some others) for those with special needs or a love of adventure.
By 2013, the general opinion is that ext4 has all the important bugs stomped, and it's perfectly safe to use for production work. Therefore, the D-I offers ext4 as its default filesystem. As pointed out by Brian, you can ask for something different at install time if you want. As for mounting an existing ext3 filesystem on Wheezy, there should be no problem at all with that. The code is still in the kernel, and will be for the foreseeable future. Indeed, I do it regularly on my own systems, with no ill effects. Does that help?
