Hey I recently got the “is that you” message and i clicked on it. I knew it was a phishing website so i typed in a random silly username & password. Am i vulnerable to any cyber attacks? Should i be worried?

Facebook's "Is that you" scam is an extremely prominent one, as hundreds of users encounter it every day. While there is a variety of malware that can be propagated via Facebook, it is not always the case. First of all, if you did not download anything or click on malicious links, you should be fine.
Nevertheless, under particular circumstances, when web browsers or other software installed on the computer are not patched from a known vulnerability, malware could be installed as soon as you get redirected to a specially crafted website. Thus, please make sure you run a full system scan with reputable anti-malware.
Speaking of your particular situation, which seems like you got redirected to a spoofing site, you should not worry about it as long as you did not type your real credentials. Stay safe and better not click on suspicious links on social media!
Good luck,
