So I do not have facebook installed on my phone but I do have instagram and whatsapp. A large amount of phone apps seem to appear in that list. I guess Whatsapp/Instagram creates a fingerprint of my device and then uses that for tracking?

They are both owned by Facebook, so yes

I believe that is in fact the case. I removed all Facebook owned apps from my phone a few weeks ago and I stopped seeing reports show up there. Experimentally, it seems like an uninstall disassociates the ID from your facebook account. That doesn’t mean facebook stopped getting those reports, only that they are no longer associating them with my account.
