Well, first of all you will never get any "backlinks" from Facebook, because it is a no-follow site. However if you do some viral marketing for your site, you might get good number of eyeballs or visitors for your site. However you have to start with a good facebook account and a fan page which can promote your site.
As I did on another thread here, I agree that the goal here should not be to get backlinks from FB. I would say that the goal of using FB for promoting business should be to build relationships with people you interact with and ultimately get traffic to your site/Page.
You can get baclinks from Facebook, but no-follow backlinks. Be it do-follow or no-follow, but you can get backlinks from Facebook.
Yep, no or do follow link will still get indexed by gbots thus counted as backlink, only pr juice wont flow

Yes, Facebook not for backlinks and seo purpose because get nofollow links, you can boost your site traffic only through facebook sharing.
You cant get any direct backlink from facebook, just you can share your link and get traffic from it i.e expose your link to world.
I must say that you need to learn about backlinks properly. Be it no-follow or not(as rel attrib for dofollow doesn't exists in real), still you will get backlinks from Facebook. Wrong comment. I have doubt that you have ever tried GWT. If you look properly baclinks from Facebook will be there. Firstly I must say that your English is confusing me a lot. Secondly your concept on SEO is not satisfactory. You have said 'you can boost site traffic only through facebook sharing'. But the correct one should be 'you can boost site traffic through facebook sharing'. And boosting up site traffic is also a part of SEO. Mind that.
if you are after PR, study no-follow and do-follow links. AFAIK FB is a no-follow. if you are after traffic, Fan page can make traffic and buying ad space in fb.
Thats the question I have been dying to find out. My Facebook page generates lots of traffic and yet backlink free even with anchor texts. I take it given how high the page is ranked and the fact that everyone has a fb page, they must have blocked it or it does not get accounted for.

Those backlink you create on Facebook are no follow link because it did not recognize by Google that help in SEO. Sometime the keywords may help you show in search result but it would not benefit your website SEO because it not recognize from Google. But facebook able to bring lot of traffic and it effective to be a marketing tools.
You couldn't get backlinks from FB. You can only increase the traffic of your website through creating a fan page, group page or just simply post the link of the updated article on your wall.
