It looks like this plugin hasn't been rewritten for phonegap 3.x yet. Here is the issue on the github project where people are discussing it: https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-facebook-plugin/issues/343
And here is where someone fixed the android part of the code to work with phonegap 3.x: https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-facebook-plugin/pull/348
Also, here is where someone else was having trouble using it for iOS with phonegap 3.x: Phonegap 3.0.0 - Facebook SDK 3.6 - FB plugin: Facebook connect not found
On the instructions in the plugin readme it says:
6) Replace your appId in the new index.html file. Leave the quotes.
You can look in the examples folder and you'll see something like this:
document.addEventListener('deviceready', function() {
try {
alert('Device is ready! Make sure you set your app_id below this alert.');
FB.init({ appId: "appid", nativeInterface: CDV.FB, useCachedDialogs: false });
document.getElementById('data').innerHTML = "";
} catch (e) {
alert(e);
}
}, false);
Hope this helps

Plugin should be fully CLI compatible now on master branch.
Here is some sample code
cordova create myApp
cd myApp/
cordova platform add ios
cordova -d plugin add /Users/your/path/here/phonegap-facebook-plugin --variable APP_ID="123456789" --variable APP_NAME="myApplication"
Enjoy.
