I only saw this in section 4, on handicap games:
"If the players have agreed to use area counting to score the game (Rule
12), White receives an additional point of compensation for each Black
handicap stone after the first. (Black would otherwise gain an
additional point of area for each handicap stone.)"

Notice it says, "for each stone after the first". So no compensation for
the first stone.
