I'd been without a Facebook account for four years as well, but created one for testing/verifying the behavior of an application we'd recently gotten approved.
As far as I'm aware it would not let me create an account without a mobile number to confirm the account.
After performing a single action (creating a page), my account was flagged, and thrown into the facial recognition captcha process.
See here for many more anecdotes about this process:
