No problem. Happy to help when I can. Looking at this a bit more, I think what I said earlier needs to be slightly amended. If you have a file whose name matches your package's name, if seems that MELPA will use its headers to generate a package description. Since you don't have a matlab-mode.el, though, MELPA doesn't know where to look.
You can just create a matlab-mode-pkg.el file, and it will grab information from there. I don't generally write these -pkg files by hand. Instead, I just use Cask (https://github.com/cask/cask) to generate them for me.

matlab-mode-pkg.el, right?

You could take a look at https://github.com/emacs-helm/helm/blob/master/helm-pkg.el for an example. Here are other examples from my packages:
https://github.com/cpitclaudel/company-coq/blob/master/company-coq-pkg.el
https://github.com/cpitclaudel/biblio.el/blob/master/biblio-pkg.el
The docs of that define-package forms are here: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Multi_002dfile-Packages.html . Your confusion regarding version numbers is due to MELPA editing the pkg file when it packages your software. MELPA packages use a different versioning namespace based on the packaging date. IOW, when your package is finally built, MELPA will replace its real version number by the current date and time.
