I think it works like this: If you already have a ticket for train, local transport or the parking house, this ticket is valid also for the SkyTrain. If you don't have such a ticket, you need a separate "Kurzstrecke" ticket (€1.10) to go to the train station. Although I've travelled with the SkyTrain 100's of times and still never seen a ticket inspector.
