You know, in the old days everyone had a whole book that was basically a table of everyone's name and phone number.
It was called the telephone book.

And some people were unlisted.
What's your point?
So even though you may not have signed up for FB, they have [your name]{your number} in a table somewhere so that when and if you do sign-up it will be easy to link you with people you already have contacted.
