the most important thing about learning on a car first, is to really learn how people behave of the road, and how to respond to the dynamics of traffic. Its very easy for new car drivers to get into accidents, not because they drive beyond their skill, but because they don’t understand how to maneuver in traffic. The same would apply to new motorcycle drivers (where the motorcycle is the first vehicle), except there is a much lower margin of error.
A Manual Car is preferable (just to get used to shifting), but is not a requirement.
