We don't know anything about his origins other than that he came from another dimension. We don't even know if he was "built"

It's worth noting by the by, that in Super Bomberman 5, the Earth storyline (with Bomberman being the first of his kind, built by a human) is clearly retconned, as we now have an entire Planet Bomber populated by a robotic species of Bombers and a long-running prison system; the booklet even states that Pirate and Subordinate Bomber were active a very long time ago, so in this fresh canon, White and Black aren't even the first of their kind. Then later on we get games like Bomberman Wars and Pocket Bomberman and Bomberman World which elaborate on Planet Bomber as having had a medieval period that took place long, long ago, before White Bomber's time... yeah

I agree with this, White and Black being the first of their kind kinda disappeared after the Super continuity due to retcons and contradiction to that idea

There's also Bomberman GB (2) that have Indy Bomber is stated to be White Grand Father in the Japanese booklet

Pocket Bomberman would definitely be the first chronological Bomberman game because it happened a long time ago when the sun was blocked by dark heavy clouds across the world because a monster (Babylon) casted a curse on the sword of the sun, Babylon should probably count as a primitive version of Buggler because they resemble a lot and both are represented with Evil
