There is a slightly different way. They have a machine that has an arm that rolls along the outside of the tire while it is spinning. It takes into account the roundness of the tire and also partially loads the tire which is more realistic.
These machines are not yet made/used for motorcycles. But they are the best way to get your car tires done.
Shops use the spin balancers because they take far less talent and far less time. Typical motorcycle spin balancer is 3 G's.
Motorcycles tires that are from a major brand name are going to be very well balanced when new. It is not uncommon for the unbalance to be in the wheel assembly.
