Well, browse to a FB page on mobile, and play "find the data source". When you lose that game, I'd say they did not "make the user aware".

Especially when the FB map guys go on podcasts and brag about how they use the data source and how advanced they are.
Attribution on the map is a clear, easy way to meet that bar (and acknowledges the many OSM contributors that see a prominent notice as being necessary to meet the license), but it isn't clear that the court tested bar will be so high.
Note that I'm not drawing "We'll see you in court" as a good way for a company to act towards a community, just commenting on where and how their obligations are defined.
