Is A3000 Pentax Lens Compatible with a K200D camera?

All Pentax DSLRs are compatible with all K-mount Pentax lenses, which is to say all of them back to the 1970s or thereabouts. I routinely use a f1.2 50mm lens from a K1000 on my K10D. The A3000 had shutter-preferred capability, so your K200D should operate the aperture in the lens. Obviously many features, such as autofocus, will not function since the lens does not have the autofocus motor. Keep in mind that your K200D viewfinder will not show the entire field of view on the shorter lenses, as it is set up to work with a sensor that is 1/3 smaller than a 35mm negative. This isn't really a problem. Telephoto lenses will work just fine.
