Do secondary weapons get the Range 1 attack die and Range 3 defense die?

The rulebook text covers this directly, and forum players read it the same way.

No. The extra attack die at Range 1 and the extra defense die at Range 3 apply only when the attacker uses its primary weapon, for both sides. Torpedoes, missiles, cannons and turret upgrades get none, so a defender at Range 3 of a secondary weapon gets no bonus die. Focus tokens, target locks and rerolls still apply to secondary attacks, and an obstructed secondary attack still gives the defender one extra die.
