Do I need a Facebook application ID to get this plugin to work? ?

Starting from plugin version 6.4, you no longer need a Facebook application ID to make this plugin work.

It is working in some system, not working in other system ?

If it is working in some system & not working with other system, there are 2 possibilties :

2) Your browser has some ad block extention installed that may cause stop my plugin loading.
