Yes, you are likely share the couchette with a stranger.

There are two ways to have a compartment to yourselves: 1. Book all three beds in a 3-bed sleeper. 2. Book all four bunks in a 4-person couchette and leave the 4th bunk empty.

If you book far enough in advance to get discount fares, #2 can be cheaper than #1.
