It looks to me like you haven't build the package by running raco make
or raco setup. raco create won't do the compilation, it just
determines whether to include the files produced therewith or not.

It doesn't use it. The MANIFEST is only used for downloading packages
from URLs that are directories. Its existence is just there because
there's no way to get a directory index with HTTP. raco pkg create can
CREATE a MANIFEST for you though.

I highly recommend not using package sources other than git because
they require you to do something you wouldn't otherwise do every time
you make a change to your code and they make it difficult for users to
get old checksums.
