Czuch, Hrqls: "i noticed before that i have to make 1 move first before i am given the option to double"

"You" being the first player to move rather than the second player making your first move. Yes, that's correct.

"i am not sure if its a standard rule for backgammon, but it seems to be that way on here"

Yep, it's a standard Backgammon rule. The choice of doubling must be made before the dice are rolled (too much advantage otherwise) and for the game's opening move the dice have already been rolled to determine who starts.
