Recent Android versions include the ability to disable built-in applications. I've got an S3, and I've successfully disabled all of the bundled stuff I don't want as well as most of TouchWiz. There are some Samsung services I can't disable, but they're bits that are non-UI or are hot-swapable and that would break the phone if disabled but not replaced. The stock keyboard and the TouchWiz launcher fall into this category, neither of which I see unless I go out of my way to re-enable them.
My phone didn't come with Facebook installed, although it did have a link in the accounts section to install the application.
