Under this ruling, Facebook may no longer offer its apps in their current form in the German version of the Google Play store.
As the article remarks, the case doesn't involve core functionality of any of the apps, and FB claims to have compliant versions of their apps ready in case RIM seeks to have the provisional ruling enforced.
(They can, but only if they pay 1.6 mil caution in case they lose in FB's appeal).
So, FB would only have to push an update for each app. Not doing so would clearly fall afoul of this ruling.
