Shouldn’t the first base umpire have checked swing responsibility as well and have corrected the count at the umpire conference?

They can't after the second pitch was thrown. The umpire conference happened after the second pitch was thrown. You can't change the call after the second pitch was thrown.
The official box score does list the first two pitches as BK, ball-strike.
