Right, but if you specify a network of 150.20.255.255/32 the other neighbor 
cannot be contained in this range.
That's what's being done here in this assignment. It just says:
network 150.50.25.2 0.0.0.0 area 0 
and that ip is of the local router, not the remote peer, so it's just 
advertising it's own local peer network /32?

I always thought of network statements as advertising out networks, (i.e. these 
belong to me because i have links in these networks), i never linked them 
directly to setting up adjacencies.
