Of course your true rating will be found out as you play more games and your rating deviation (RD) in that time control decreases

"New to chess," yes, that's what I joined as, and 400 is what I thought would have been assigned at that level, so where did the extra 81 come from after my first game? See what I mean? It seems rather weird.
The first game you played gave you that 81 rating points

What's the lowest rating assigned to a new member? When I signed up to chess.com I joined as a beginner, which I wasn't really, but I wanted to see how much I could learn by starting from scratch. I just now went back to see the first game I played, which was a 10 minute game, and my rating was 481. Now, my brother just signed up a few weeks ago as as intermediate and his assigned rating is 800. So what was my assigned rating when I began that on my first game, which I lost, was 481? I'm not complaining, just curious.
