Yes, you are correct. DOT CFR Part 192 and 195 has lists of documents that have been Incorporated By Reference (be sure to read the explanation of what Incorporated By Reference means). Currently as of January 16, 2014 the 20th edition of API 1104 is still the listed edition therefore it is required that this edition be used for any work that is covered by DOT. Continuing to use an edition that has been replaced by a more current edition is not typically frowned upon as long as any additional work is in compliance with the current Incorporated edition.
Not all of API 1104 is Incorporated By Reference. Review relevant DOT parts and the API 1104 to see which Sections are referenced and within the 1104 which Sections may be referenced.
And as you mentioned your State regulations may also list of approved codes and standards. Sometimes state regulators may lag behind the Feds a little bit, but keep in mind that the Feds always trump the State. As long as you are using the most strict requirements from either standard you should be safe.
If it is your choice or if your requirements are that you use the latest edition there is no problem with that as long as you satisfy all the requirements of the current Incorporated By Reference edition.
Understand that not all editions of the API 1104 were Incorporated by DOT. It seems as though editions 12, 14, and 16 were never Incorporated. I could be wrong on the 12th edition however. Jumping ahead to use portions of the Standard may be futile if the edition is never incorporated. At times DOT did object to certain portions of the 1104 and did not Incorporate that edition. Occasionally the 1104 Committee has referenced different sections of the 1104 in sections that were Incorporated By Reference by DOT and this was where objections were raised. In other cases DOT simply did not have time to review and Incorporate those editions.
Some organizations such as ASME and API do have provisions for requiring compliance with their Standards. Compliance is required for 'certification' or 'stamping' of products manufactured in accordance with their requirements and these products must be manufactured in accordance with the latest editions.
If you want to know the date when you must stop using one edition and change to the other it depends on which regulatory agency you talk to. I believe DOT allows either 3 or 6 months after it is incorporated. I believe it is usually the same for some States after they adopt it but there may be a time lag between the Feds and State in adopting the Standard. As I said above, if you use the most stringent regulations (Sections) that are Incorporated By Reference you should be safe and in compliance with both agencies.

Api 1104 21st Edition Torrent 2017
Well, if someone is comfortable with copy-write infringement or license agreement breach. Anyway, if you can test to the 20th edition then do that. Typical of AWS being out of touch with other industry, the 21st edition is not incorporated by reference and therefor not enforced by legal means....unless agreed upon by contract but who in their right mind would do that?
§192.7 What documents are incorporated by reference partly or wholly in this part?
(a) This part prescribes standards, or portions thereof, incorporated by reference into this part with the approval of the Director of the Federal Register in 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 1 CFR part 51. The materials listed in this section have the full force of law. To enforce any edition other than that specified in this section, PHMSA must publish a notice of change in the Federal Register.
(9) API Standard 1104, “Welding of Pipelines and Related Facilities,” 20th edition, October 2005, including errata/addendum (July 2007) and errata 2 (2008), (API Std 1104), IBR approved for §§192.225(a); 192.227(a); 192.229(c); 192.241(c); and Item II, Appendix B.
If you plan on working in an area which utilizes API 1104 then it would make sense to test to the enforceable edition. If PHMSA was even close to incorporating the 21st I would suggest to go that route - but their not.
