What does it mean to operate in a country? I don't think running a website that doesn't block access from a particular country can be interpreted as operating in that country. Maybe Facebook does more than that, e.g. sell advertising in Germany.

It does. Facebook is a company operating in Europe as well.

Hint for Americans -- Europe is not a country and while Facebook does operate in Ireland, that means they are subject to Irish, not German, laws.
