I can confirm you get it arriving from the ferry. It will be arranged for you in advance if you go to the office in korsakov just around the corner from the ferry, where you do the bike paperwork. In yuzhno-sakhalinsk you'll need to buy your personal ticket. At least, thats what I did last September... I couldn't do it at the same place...
Oh, and get Yen upfront. In Wakanai before you can clear customs, you'll need to pay cash. But I did see them driving a Dutch guy to an ATM as he didn't come prepared. But save yourself the hassle...
