As far as I know there was an earlier project called "Hot or Not" where Zuck and some others scraped Harvard's students roster to build.

No, Hot or Not had no connection to Zuckerberg, and no connection to Harvard. You may be thinking of Zuckerberg’s Facesmash.

It happened but it's not why Facebook was created. FB was a government project. I would call Hot or Not a side project.
