Yes, it does "stamp" (prints an entry line) the back of your TTP card on entry. I haven't ran into that problem on entry in Japan yet but I did get questioned about the lack of exit stamp somewhere. I can't remember now if it was a duty free counter or another country's immigration/customs' inspection but they did wonder why there wasn't one.
