The rule in question:

"The Oracular Dais: 35pts. Counts as Disc of Tzeentch. At start of each of your turns, choose one friendly Chaos Demon Faction unit that is reserve and automatically pass its reserve roll. Herald only."

Does this allow you to deploy a unit on your first turn? Pretty sure the answer is no since you don't roll for reserves on turn one, so there is no reserve roll that you could pass. But I just wanted to make sure I'm not missing anything.

Since no reserve roll is made (typically) on Turn 1, then there is no roll to automatically pass.

Correct. And if a unit DID have the capability to roll on Turn 1, the Dais special rule could be used to pass its roll. More often than not, those that can arrive first turn do not have to roll for it anyway, though.
