Is it possible to use OTVDM to make an exe which runs on Windows 1.0 up to Windows 11?

It's only possible if you are running 32-bit Windows 10. Windows 11 doesn't have a 32-bit version, so it's impossible. Also, you need to modify the .exe headers to make it run.

In case you don't know what OTVDM is, it is the 16bit compatibility layer for 32 bit Windows, but for 64 bit instead.
e.g. Windows 64bit > NTVDM > OTVDM > Your 16 bit app

That doesn't look like it comes with Windows.

I don't know about Windows 1.0, but I played Tilt Pinball (3.1) on Windows 10 x64 using OVTDM and it works.

Only if OTVDM is installed on that system because whatever exe you might make in OTVDM will be 16bit and require the win16 subsystem which doesn't exist without it.
