When sharing a link, a post or a tweet on a Facebook is it possible to set an image using OG meta tags that is not actually on the page you are sharing.
Example: You share example.com/mypage.html and has a img OG of /example.png
Does example.png actually have to be used on mypage.html to be displayed (as a thumbnail for example) on Facebook? Must mypage.html contain an <img> tag with a reference to this page? Is this mandatory?

Must mypage.html contain an tag with a reference to this page?
No, the image does not need to be visible on the page you are linking to. The OG image represents/summarises the resource, it does not need to be part of its contents.
In this related question the OP is advertantly linking to a (default) blank image on their WordPress blog (which doesn't appear on the page being linked to). Facebook is picking up the blank image.
