I was looking through the user list and it looks like a lot of people registered on Code Review (the main site, not meta) already have a reputation score of 101 without having participated on this site whatsoever. Is this a residual score calculated from their participation on other Stack Exchange sites?

Correct -- you get +100 bonus reputation on any new site in the Stack Exchange network, so long as you have +200 rep somewhere in the network.

Since you start with 1 rep, that means you end up with +101 rep total.
