SOLVED
I tried everything from suggestions as seen bellow but it seems that the Attribute Paint node doesn't work well in older Houdini Versions. I tried on 20.0.688 and works fine!
Hello,
I'm a newbie but I've create an Attribute Paint and hit Enter in the viewport and the brush doesn't even appear.
I also get this error when I want to add a new attribute "AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'updateattribute", but I would honestly just be happy to have the brush appear.
Let me know if there are any suggestions, thank you.

Is it possible your Alembic is still packed? If so you won't have access to the geometry (the rest of the setup won't work correctly either). Try to use a a convert node after the object merge.
Before the screenshot I showed, I have a simple setup for my alembic (which I reference in Object Merge node) and I already have an unpack and convert node. Not sure what else would work in this case.

Your setup seems fine. I don't have the alembic file, but substituting it with a random one, I was able to paint without a problem.
In this thread [www.sidefx.com], somebody with a similar problem seemed to be able to fix it by using the numpad enter, you might want to try it. Otherwise, updating your driver to one supported by SideFX [www.sidefx.com] might also be a good idea.

Amazing, thank you for having a look! I will check the links. Also may I ask what Houdini version did you use to check the file?

Also getting this problem when using attribute paint, very painful.
Tried using the numpad enter key, tried using different geometry (a box, a complex object, etc), and no luck.
H20.5.550
Here's the setup:
