Baldy, Yes, each page should have unique Open Graph tags and you'll want to declare an og:image so Facebook doesn't pluck whatever it wants out of your content. I actually use the Open Graph tags as a way to optimize Google +1 snippets and Facebook snippets. That might give you some more information on how to put the OG tags into practical use. Good luck and let me know if have any further questions.

One more question..much like having unique meta tags, should each page of a website have unique og tags as well or is it enough to have just one general page?

[...] Associate your site and pages with your Facebook Page. Since I began research on the Open Graph this tag seems to have been deprecated or at least made optional. In the current environment it would simply create another association with the Open Graph. That this tag is now less prominent should make you think twice about investing substantially in Facebook Pages.(source) [...]
