My phone number was removed and my account deleted when they say this hack happened. My phone number is in the leak. Doesn that mean that my phone number was in it because other people's contacts were imported, or because they didn't actually delete my info?

The contact importer should not be turning up deleted Facebook accounts, so it seems like Facebook was keeping data on you even after you deleted your account.

If you are an EU resident, this can be a GDPR violation so you should follow up.
