To get the badge you don't have to be the original owner, or be the person who actually put all the mileage on the car. You just have to be the current owner at the time the car reaches or has surpassed the required mileage. My car has two 250,000km badges--one old-style silver one from a previous owner, and a newer gold one that I applied for myself.
The way I understand it, the lapel pins are for people who can document that they have put X-number of miles on MB car(s) that they currently own, or have owned, whether just on one car or more than one combined.
I've heard of people getting the badge without actually having a dealer fill in the dealer portion of the form, but it's probably a good idea to do it, to avoid delays or hassles.
