are all steerer tubes the same diameter?

Generally you must use the right size parts for the headtube, if you have an 1 1/8" headtube you need to use an 1 1/8 steerer and headset, same with 1" and 1 1/4"
But a smaller diameter steerer can be shimmed out to fit a larger diameter headset though and shims can be used to fit a smaller diameter headset into a larger diameter headtube e.g a 1 1/8 headset can be fitted to a 1 1/4 headtube using shims, also Chris King do devolution headsets which allow fitting an 1 1/8 steerer into a 1 1/4 headtube.
That's probably confusing but it's pretty straightforward, honest
