I think what he meant was that all of those overseas users suck up bandwidth for Facebook, costing them money, while returning very little. It's true. It's why, for example, apps on MySpace get much higher eCPM on offer pages.
Facebook is far more globally skewed than MySpace according to just about all of the stat estimates.
