I don't think it's automatic (I think R1 to 2nd, BR to 1st is the "likely" result in almost every case, however...) Given that the offensive coach has options on both, suppose he prefers moving R1 to 2nd and adding a ball to the count (suppose batter is his best hitter, for example). On the catcher's obstruction, he takes the result of the play - so he can then accept the IP penalty instead.
