Even if you disable automatic updates in the Play Store settings, the Facebook apps such as the Messenger App, the Instagram app, and the Facebook Page Manager app etc will still get updated no matter what.
These apps get updated via the Facebook app manager, which is an app that comes pre-installed in a lot of Android smartphones.
So, in order to stop the the The Automatic updates of Facebook ads you will have to disable the Facebook app manager app.
