No, they don't activate *your* camera (AFAIK). What can happen is that if a Facebook member posts your picture, even in a group picture, and attaches your name, then Facebook may extract your face and name and use it in other contexts, like another picture including you.
Many cameras having GPS, which gets recorded by default in the EXIF metadata of JPEGs, which is then by default included in a Facebook posting, your whereabouts could be tracked just because some other Facebook member took your picture, and you just happened to be in the background! This is all what they *can* do, not necessarily what they *do* do. But given revelations of what they *have* done, I find them hard to trust.
