Yes, it is advised to learn React before you start with React Native, since the principles you'll need when developing in React Native are all based on React.

From Facebook:

React Native enables you to build world-class application experiences on native platforms using a consistent developer experience based on JavaScript and React.

So before you study all the mobile specific API's and attention points, it's good to be familiar with React itself.
