It comes preinstalled in a lot of phones and cant be uninstalled and in some phones they dont preinstall the main fb app instead they'd have something like 'facebook manager' or 'something service' which only shows up in app list when you select the "show system apps" option.
Those are typically carrier-sold phones.
Most unlocked phones purchased directly from the manufacturer (or via a retail store like BestBuy) do not have it pre-installed, and even if it is, its removable.
Nope. My Galaxy S23 is unlocked and it has Facebook and Meta crap installed as "system" apps. Same with an older Sony phone.
Just use UAD to disable the service, easy
