If there are other populations, would they require salvation also? God's love and the promise of salvation is available to all in His universe.

Why do you believe salvation is necessary? From what is the salvation delivering us?

If we don't know the structures and parameters of such other possible worlds and cultures,
how can we know
the parameters of God's relationship to them?
We can certainly postulate things about God's side given His evident Nature. Sacrificially Loving is one highly probably aspect of His side of such a relationship.
And, He's said that God would that no one perish eternally. We don't really know therefore what to that. He still insists on free-will for man. And He clearly has an interest in protecting Heaven from pollution and avoiding forcing man into Heaven against his will.
But I'd hate to have to try and speculate on point of death what God's relationship parameters were with other ET civilizations. Most people on earth seem to have no clue about His parameters regarding man on this planet.
That leaves plenty of work cut out for us as is.

I would think that were Salvation be necessary for such ET civilizations . . .
The ONCE AND FOR ALL of Christ and THE CROSS should be sufficient.
That also might partially or totally explain why so many [70 different ones by some accounts] ET races have been observing the planet for evidently so long. The crux of eternal existence for ALL of creation may have been weighing heavily on the fulcrum of THE CROSS.
