You can make a Messenger-only account with just a phone number, provided that phone number has never been linked to a 'real' Facebook account.
Of course, Facebook is almost certainly creating a 'shadow profile' for all of those users in case they ever decide to join Facebook so it doesn't really solve the privacy issues that anyone who chooses not to use FB likely has.

If my phone number previously belonged to someone who had it linked to a Facebook account, then I can never use it for a Messenger account?
