You have to have the health pass to get into the country. But you can complete it before you get on your flight and print it and use the printed copy. You can only do it a day or two at the most before your flight to CR, and you could do it on a phone or computer even, print the results and they can scan the QR code off your paper copy.
If they let you on the plane without it you will have to complete it before you are allowed to get into the country when you arrive. If you do that you would have to do it on a phone as far as I know. I did see people trying to complete it as you need it to get through the line at immigration into Costa Rica.
You only need your vaccination record to allow you in without purchasing or having the Covid insurance. So proving your vaccination status is entered on the health pass and when you use the health pass as you enter the country they then know you have been vaccinated, or if not, that you have the required insurance.
