At least in the past it was possible using a manual create database statement to create the database without a temp tablespace and to add the temporary tablespace using a create tablespace statement after the create database command completed.

We in fact did it that way. Create database. Create temporary tablespace. Create rollback tablespace, create user and data tablespaces ... All steps were done as separate commands.
