I read a while ago that the sharer.php script was being deprecated in favour of the "like" button. I just headed over to developers.facebook.com and found an article explaining how to use the sharer.php. Does this mean it's back?

Yes the sharer.php is back and here are official examples on how to use it: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/share/
One main advantages of using the sharer.php is that you can have big images in your posts.
If you follow the guide at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/howtos/maximizing-distribution-media-content/ and use the javascript FB.ui dialog, you will never get big images. The only way to get big images in your post is to use the sharer.php.

Yes, it is.
The re-introduced it together with the new native share dialogs for iOS/Android apps:
