First paragraph suggests that you can book Irish Ferries Rail and Sail tickets through Pembroke, which I don't think is correct - only Stena services come up if you try to book a ticket through to Rosslare.

I see that several stations can be booked directly to and from Ireland.

You can even get a quote for a one way ticket from Ireland (in sterling) but regrettably only gives UK stations as possible machines you can pick the tickets up from.
Pembroke must have been a typo in that press release. Never say never but I'd be surprised if SailRail is reinstated on that route given the rail station in Pembroke Dock is about a mile from the ferry terminal whereas Megabus and Eurolines bring people right to the terminal/onto the ship.

A nice touch on Irish Ferries vessel on the Pembroke-Rosslare run is that they have rail info for Wales available beside the information desk - a poster plus takeaway booklets.
