Google Analytics only shows data from those sites which you have control of and can put ads on. So let's say you have a blog at blog.yourdomain.com and you've signed up for Google Anayltics. They will give you code to put on your blog since you control it. However since you don't control Facebook nor their ads, you won't get credit.

Also of note that it is against Google's TOS to click your own ads. You could potentially be disqualified for doing so.

Hope this helps.
