Does 10G port of F200G has backward compatibility with 1G SFP port module?

The datasheet says “10/GE SFP/+”. That means both 10G SFP+ and GE SFP would work. You probably need to specifically configure the port manually though if it’s configured as 10G by default, which most likely. I just don’t have that model so I can’t confirm it myself. But you should be able to do that easily by yourself.
