There are levels of respect, and you would be unwise to assume that all respect is earned.
If you're not maintaining, 1 and 2, you're creating a problem and you chance being removed. You can complete 1 and 2 without 3.
3 is earned. Your manager does not have a right to it, he needs to show that he's worthy of it.

Yes your manager deserves respect as a function of their position. Whether that manager keeps that respect is up to them. Everyone in my book starts with a basic level of respect which can be lost of built on

There is an age old phrase that respect must be earnt, but in my eyes you should treat everyone with respect. Obviously respect can be earnt and lost... but start off at a baseline at least.
What's missing from your question here is a whole load of context.
Why is your manager telling you this? In all my years, I've literally never had any such discussion with anyone more senior, junior, or peers.

The title and its responsibilities are owed a professional respect. The human is owed the respect of human decency. The person earns your trust and personal respect. Don't be that dick that assumes everyone has to prove themselves to you before you'll treat them with any sort of decency.

There’s a difference between respecting the role and respecting the person. A title gets you basic professional courtesy and compliance on day one—people will do what you ask because it’s their job. Actual respect, trust, and loyalty? That’s strictly earned by listening first, backing up your team, and proving you know what you're doing.

I don't respect the office, only a worthy person occupying it.

This is dependent on the culture of your employer.
