Thank you , Just to clarify it acts as two victory points so when adding up points it would be 1 point for settlement and two victory points for first settlement. If the settlement changes to city , then it would be two points for city plus the 2 victory Points earned  for original settlement , is that correct ?

If you build the city, it is 2 points for the city and 2 points for the first build bonus. For a total of 4 points.
