Greg is right, but concerning VerseKey objects. The problem with instancing a
VerseKey is that it defaults to the KJV v11n system. The module may use
another. So, then you need to setVersification appropriately on the newly
instantiated VerseKey to access all the verses correctly for the module. The
alternative is either to:
Simply call: SWModule::createKey()
Which will give you back an SWKey appropriate for the module.
Or simply send strings to SWModule::setKey(...)
All keys can be reduced to a string representation and each module type will
ask its own key representation to deal with the string accordingly.
In C++, this is allowed in the engine by providing a const char * c-tor on the
base of all keys, the SWKey object. Then SWModule::setKey(const SWKey &) will
accept strings by constructing a temporary for you.
module.setKey("jas.1.18")
So, in essense, your C# code to create an SWKey with a string, and then set the
module with this key does the same thing, though in multiple steps.
So, to summarize. Gregs warning about constructing a VerseKey manually is
important. You're not doing this in your example so there's not danger of using
the wrong versification system. I'm not sure if you need to even construct a
key at all; i.e., I don't know if C# will imply the temporary SWKey and simply
allow the module.setKey("jas.1.18"), as C++ provides for.
Hope this is more help than confusion.

In SWORD you should _never_ instantiate an instance of SWKey. You
should use the module's methods for fetching its particular instance
of the SWKey and set the value using the appropriate methods (or
assignment overload in C++).
Because each module might have a different versification scheme, the
default when you instantiate one is to follow the KJV's versification
but that can lead to improper results when assigned to a module that
does not use KJV.

If you publish what you have, I can work with you to integrate it into
the engine's swig bindings. I have been the "pumpkin holder" for them
for a while now as well as for the CMake system that is the main way
to build them at present.
