That's the wrong ferry. It just crosses the Port Phillip bay to
save people driving through Melbourne (but they manage to charge
about as much as the fuel costs to drive). The ferry to Tassie has
always docked elsewhere, but it did recently move closer, from
Melbourne to Geelong, where I assume the new terminal there suits
the new ferries, but I haven't been following the details on that.
Both services do take cars. This page shows the car ramps that
lead up to the ship at the new dock in Geelong:
