I'm not sure what you want since your example and explanation appears to be
inconsistent. However, this should give you an idea of how to approach it:
vects[a_?VectorQ, q_List] :=
PadRight[#, Max[Length /@ q]]& /@
Map[If[MemberQ[a, First[#]], Mod[Last[#], 2], 0]&, q, {2}];
a = {-1, 2, 3, 61};
q = {{{-1, 1}, {3, 2}}, {{-1, 1}, {2, 3}, {3, 6}, {61, 1}}, {{2, 2}, {61,
1}}};
vects[a,q]
{{1, 0, 0, 0}, {1, 1, 0, 1}, {0, 1, 0, 0}}
