It depends. During negotiation, the two sides need to agree on the IP
addresses that the link will use at both ends. In practice, it is customary
for the end that answers the phone to set the IP addresses (since it has a
pool of addresses to assign, typically). This can be done statically (tied
to the userid used to log in, for example - that's how my connection works)
or dynamically, assigning an arbitrary address from a pool, or an address
tied to the phone line that received the call, or probably other things I'm
not thinking of. So ... talk to your ISP and see if you can arrange what you
want.
