The "Off-Facebook Activity" page is reasonably new however the data it shows goes back years, suggesting the data collection itself has been going on for a long time and Facebook has now become generous enough to let you know about it.

There's reason to believe even more data is being collected & processed behind the scenes but they don't tell you (yet?).

This stuff has been collected for as long as Facebook have offered pixels, widgets and SDK's for webmasters and devs to use on their sites/apps.
