Yugoslavia WAS created after WW1, and it was in fact known by that name, (officially "The Kingdom of Yugoslavia") though spelled "Jugoslavia" by most in Europe.
Czechoslovakia came to be by default: the Austro-Hungarian Governor of Bohemia, invited the underground Czech Independence Committee to Hradacny Castle in Prague to literally pick up the keys.
In Finland's case, it declared independence in 1917, while the war was going on, and was recognized "de jure" by the US, Britain, France, and Germany. By 1918, a civil war between the Reds (supported by the Bolsheviks-obviously) and the Whites (supported by Imperial Germany) was ongoing, not ending until 1919/20. So to be pedantic, Finland was not created "after" WW1. Certainly not as a result of the Treaty of Versailles.
The "Protectorates" of Lebanon-Syria, Iraq, and Trans-Jordan were in fact created by the Treaty. One can make the argument that they were "countries".
