Does anyone know more about this?

As far as I remember Facebook does support being and openid connect authentication provider so it should be theoretically possible without their SDK. But it might be that they put some practical restrictions in place to force usage of their API??

I believe the T's & C's of the FB developer platform specifies that you can only use the Android/iOS SDKs for auth. You can probably get around it using openid, but you risk your developer keys being revoked.
