In criminal matters other state's definitely can prosecute you if the offence allegedly occured or was detected in another state. Usually there will be some negotiation between state agencies to decide where it is most convenient to try people.
Similarly, in non-criminal matters other state's may have a stake in the outcome of a case and may thus initiate proceedings against a person living elsewhere.
If it is a different nation-state, ie involving an offence in a different country, then the foreign state's ability to prosecute will depend on whether you are still within their borders or not. If you have already left their country then it will be more difficult to get you back- ie you will need to be extradited back to stand trial, although there are cases where people are tried without actually being there, and this will affect your ability to return to that country.

ADDED: All the foregoing is true insofar as criminal and civil proceedings are concerned - but it is ALSO true in certain strictly administrative matters. i.e. - if you hold a license to do business, or some kind of permit to do 'whatever' - even though you may not be a resident of that state, the other state also exercises a certain amount of limited jurisdiction over your activity as permitted by their licensure or permit. Also, if you own property in that state but are not a 'resident.' There are many possibilities. You would have to be more specific in your question for a more definitive answer.

Diversity jurisdiction is a basis for federal courts to exercise jurisdiction if the parties to a civil cause of action are residents of different states and the amount in controversy is large enough to make use of federal resources practical. A state may legitimately exercise jurisdiction either if it has in rem jurisdiction over the property or in personam jurisdiction over all parties to the dispute.
