It does; it starts out in the past (pre-Apocalypse), with a teenaged John Connor and his mom, then flashes forward to the present day (bypassing the Apocalypse).

Can't wait til TSCC starts up here in Australia (very soon now!)- I'll be watching it like it's going out of fashion!

Trying not to give spoilers here for TTSCC. Each foray back in time changes the exisiting timeline - this is common among all time travel experiments, and part of the reason it's so fun and intruiging.
T2 changes the timeline established in Terminator. T3 changes the timeline established in T2. TTSCC takes the timelines from Terminator and T2 (which do not yet succumb to the Skynet ascension), and bypass the T3 timeline (which does result in Skynet dominating over humans).
TTSCC really does a wonderful job on this front, and I really hate to give it away since you haven't seen it yet.
But yes, it does all mesh. The rest of the timelines are not ignored. Don't know about T4, though.

The only controversial part is whether Cameron should know about all of the other timelines. Once T2 changed the timeline, all events following the old timeline should not be known to future generations - that existence no longer exists.
When Cameraon is sent back. she should know about the timeline exisiting after T3, but not what would have happened if T2 or T3 had not occurred, because that would not be history in the future she comes from, and she would have no access to that - unless explained in more clear detail (it's not impossible, just not in the storyline so far).

In Terminator, the current and future are intertwined because John Connor sends back his friend Kyle, who becomes his dad, which he knew about but did not tell Kyle about.
In T3, John and Kate Brewster are integral to the domination of Skynet - whichout their actions, Kate's dad would not have given control of the defense net to Skynet.
TTSCC removes John from this scenario which creates the Skynet coup.
T3 is not ignored. It is the only story stating Sarah dies from cancer. This is the history of the people in the future that Cameron comes from, so this is their reality - and she shares this info from T3 with John and Sarah. But the future human resistance has again figured out how to outsmart the previous timeline, that of T3.
