Does this ruling apply?

Q. If I use Lumineon's Poke-POWER "Fin Luster" to place a basic fire type pokemon from my opponent's hand onto his or her bench would Miasma Valley place 2 damage counters on it?
A. Yes, you would place the 2 damage counters for Miasma Valley. Despite the wording of Fin Luster, it is still the opponent putting their own Pokemon onto their own Bench. (Apr 16, 2009 PUI Rules Team)

Whenever any player puts a Basic Pokemon (excluding G or P Pokemon) from his or her hand onto his or her Bench, put 2 damage counters on that Pokemon.
Fin Luster said:
Fin Luster - Once during your turn (before your attack), if Lumineon is your Active Pokemon, you may look at your opponent's hand. If you opponent's Bench isn't full, choose 1 Basic Pokemon from your opponent's hand, and put it onto his or her Bench. Then, switch it with the Defending Pokemon. This power can't be used if Lumineon is affected by a Special Condition. (Poke-POWER)

It would depend upon if placing the Basics is considered "the opponent putting their own Pokemon onto their own Bench"
 
A ruling on this is under review. For the time being, if needed for a ruling in a tournament, use the Fin Luster ruling.
