Why do you want to find the correspondence? The tool was not made to be used this way, though I understand it is a little confusing. You are supposed to register both left and right of your subject to the left fsaverage_sym and do your processing there. The only reason to go to the right of fsaverage_sym is for testing that you are getting roughly the same answer (ie, the software is working and unbiased).

External Email - Use CautionDear FreeSurfer experts,
for the 'fsaverage_sym' template that comes with FreeSurfer, I would like to find a mapping between equivalent vertices (i.e., vertices in the same anatomical position) between the left and right hemispheres.
By "equivalent" I mean identical anatomical positions. I noticed, for example, that vertex 500 in the file fsaverage_sym/surf/lh.white and vertex 500 in the file fsaverage_sym/surf/rh.white are not at equivalent anatomical points.
I feel this mapping must be documented somewhere or there is an obvious way to get it that I am currently overlooking, so I thought I'd ask here.
Thanks in advance,
Tim
