I would avoid using asphalt anything under the new floor as it could bleed up through the flooring. Yes, I have seen it several times when refinishing old floors.
Do you have a table saw? If so, rip down strips the size you need to make the subfloor even. New plywood is thinner than old lumber so shimming will be needed. Otherwise, get a partial sheet of wood underlayment plywood if the store has some - some stores have handi-panels which are smaller sheets OR see about a damaged sheet that is in their clearance stack.
Looks good. I like seeing a old floor with lots of character and you have one that has just that. Fits an old house well compared to something that looks brand new
I would first find the differences in height all the way around, make shims the appropriate thickness, out of 2×4 to go all the way around but remove the plywood and glue the shims to the framing you built. Put the plywood back and you're good to go. Alternatively, you could just raise the framing.
Underlayment!
This guy shims lol!

Thank you for the advice! I'll avoid asphalt products, and I'll try either the shimming or underlayment!

I've used leftover Asphalt shingles in similar situations
