I always felt LSB was a Red Hat thing, didn't it use to require package management by RPM?

You certainly felt wrong. SuSE was the first distribution to be LSB compilant.
And yes LSB requires that RPM packages _can be installed_ on an LSB compilant system. It did never state that the distribution should be RPM based. As as you maybe know, Red Hat isn't even the only distribution to use RPM as package manager...

Indeed. You can make Debian lsb-compliant by installing a couple of packages.
