In magento almost every postion is handled by catalog.xml, (if you go the proper way) You can place any static block , in catalog.xml you will find the postioning of blocks for every page (be it category, product or home page) just you need to place the block in the right reference.

To have a right sidebar only on the product page you need to to a few things:

  • in the admin panel set the product pages to have 2 columns with right sidebar
  • create a block and template file (or just edit one that is available)
  • in catalog.xml (this is in your themes's layout folder) find the handle called and within that section find in there you can add your block / template file.

For more info on how you can create blocks and templates see here.
