This feats description states that the clerics level for channeling the opposing energy type is 2 cleric levels lower when choosing to channel evil instead of positive energy for example.
What does this mean for Clerics of level 1 & 2. I would assume the opposing energy would stay equivalent to level 1 until 4th level. Or are the rules intending for this not to be taken until 3rd level?

It would be ineffective until you are 3rd level, yes. 0 effective levels of cleric = no channeling.
You can choose to channel positive and negative energy.
Prerequisites: Channel energy class feature, necromancer or neutrally aligned cleric (see below).
Benefit: You may make a choice whenever you use your channel energy class feature.
If you normally channel positive energy, you may choose to channel negative energy as if your effective cleric level were 2 levels lower than normal.
If you normally channel negative energy, you may choose to channel positive energy as if your effective cleric level were 2 levels lower than normal.
Having this feat means you qualify for feats and abilities that have "channel positive energy" or "channel negative energy" as a prerequisite (for example, you qualify for the Command Undead feat and the Turn Undead feat).
Note: This feat only applies to necromancers, neutral clerics who worship neutral deities, or neutral clerics who do not worship a deity -- characters who have the channel energy class ability and have to make a choice to channel positive or negative energy at 1st level. Clerics whose alignment or deity makes this choice for them cannot select this feat.
