I've setup an application for my site via facebook & unlike other screenshots I have seen on the web where it shows an API key, I DO NOT have one.... all I have shown is "Application ID", followed by "Application Secret"..... so was wondering if the App ID is the same as the API key? As I am using the App ID with another WP plugin?

A Facebook App ID is a unique number that identifies your app when you request ads from Audience Network. Each app on Audience Network must have a unique Facebook App ID. You may already have an App ID if your app uses Facebook Login or Facebook Analytics for Apps.
Your Application ID is your account number and is used as a way to group your API activity. For example, if you are a mobile developer with multiple Apps that use our API, you might set up a separate application for each, so that you can track their usage separately.
TL;DR - the definition of terms "App Id" and "App Key" depends on the service provider's implementation of an authorization strategy. Often the "App Id" will mean oAuth client id and "App Key" will mean oAuth client secret but some providers may define "App Id" and "App Key" to mean the same thing (client id).
APP ID, APP KEY and APP Secret are three different things.
APP ID is a unique number(integer) for each application on facebook.
The following URL link should land you on your application dashboard page, where you can see all the application which you have created on facebook. After that, click on the application name which you have created recently and you should be see your application id, key, secret and other settings.

As of 2011 APP ID and API KEY is now the same value, and is listed as such under the label App ID/API Key on the app details and settings page.

App ID and API Key were different before. But since the introduction of the new Developer dashboard. They are now the same.
You now can use App ID where your code requires API Key.
