And does the carbs start choking immediately or gradually?

On a cold start, the chokes should be fully set (choked) by the time you turn the key.

Even needs some gas from pedal for it to higher the rpm?

If you mean having to press the gas pedal to keep it running for the first few seconds, this is not unusual on a carbureted car. If you need to do this after more than ten seconds or so, something is probably wrong.
