What does "people skills" mean?
Almost 99% of the residents of Japan are Japanese.
90% of the non-Japanese are Chinese and Korean.
So if you are saying that Japanese are not officially taught to deal with 0.1% of the population of Japan of non-Asian foreigners, you are probably right. Though if I were making a budget and were asked what the priorities were, that issue would stand at a 0.1% priority.
Where I live the population is about 20% Hispanic, and I can't say that American students are taught "people skills" either.
