Focus will only be placed on the first menu item if you programmatically place it there. It is equally valid from a UI perspective to leave focus on the menu button.

But in both cases, Brian's other point, that the aria-haspopup value implies the appearance of the menu, is still valid. Except that it's more correct to say that it implies the appearance of "something that may be a menu" because there is a general lack of support among browser/screen reader combinations for the various explanatory values of aria-haspopup - aria-haspopup="menu", aria-haspopup="dialog", etc.
