$T^*M$ is a Stein manifold: A clarification on the integral complex structure involved and its relation with the canonical symplectic form

I'm interested in understanding better the properties of the integrable (almost) complex structure that Eliashberg constructs on the cotangent bundle of a closed manifold $M$, whose dimension is at least $3$ (See these notes, thm 11.10).

Let $\omega_{\text{can}}$ the canonical symplectic structure on the cotangent bundle, and let $J_{\text{can}}$ a tamed a.c.s.

The statement says that given $(T^*M, \omega_{\text{can}}, J_{\text{can}}) $ we can find an exhausting Morse function $\phi$ with some properties, such that $(T^*M, \omega_{\phi}, \tilde{J})$ is a Stein manifold. Moreover $\tilde{J}$ is homotopic to $J_{\text{can}}$ and $\tilde{J}$ is tamed by $\omega_{\phi}$.

The notation $\omega_{\phi}$ suggests that the new symplectic structure is build from the map $\phi$.

I'd like to know if we can assume that $\tilde{J}$ is tamed by $\omega_{\text{can}}$, or what kind of relation we can force them to have.

In this answer, T. Perutz concludes by saying that it seems to be the case that $\omega_{\phi}$ and $\omega_{\text{can}}$ are symplectomorphic (if we make a clever choice for $\phi$). Call that symplectomorphism $\psi$, this would implies that $\psi_*\tilde{J}$ is tamed by $\omega_{\text{can}}$. Where can I find a reference for this result (the existence of such symplectomorphism)?
