Looks like they were on board on January 9th:

Wednesday night's vote-a-rama was real sneaky.
Sorry to post a link from RedState, but they have a simple clear summary of the Senate budget resolution:
And then Sen Corker posted this on the 12th:

With a vote of 51 to 48, the Senate tonight passed the budget resolution that is a step toward repealing Obamacare. This bill instructs congressional committees to begin writing the Repeal bills.
Senator Rand Paul voted no with the Democrats. Well update the vote tally shortly.
This resolution is part of the process toward repeal. It triggers reconciliation and protects fiscal legislation from the filibuster, requiring only a simple majority.
Passage of the resolution was expected, and now the GOP can, using the same method used to pass Obamacare, repeal it. The bill instructs the House and Senate committees to begin crafting the bills that will dismantle the Affordable Care Act, and will now go to the House for a vote, where it is also expected to pass.

WASHINGTON U.S. Senator Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), a member of the Senate Budget Committee, today released the following statement after voting for final passage of the 2017 budget resolution (S. Con. Res. 3), which will guide the legislative process to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
Title II of the 2017 budget resolution instructs House and Senate committees with jurisdiction over the ACA to develop legislation that would reduce the budget deficit by at least $1 billion each over the next ten years. The resulting reconciliation legislation is expected to include language to repeal and replace the ACA. Corker tonight withdrew his amendment, which would have extended the deadline for reconciliation instructions, following assurances from Senate leadership that Congress will follow a responsible timeline for replacing the health care law.
