The Contains FCC ID: PPD-AR5BXB63 means that the laptop contains a certified module. EEEPC or whoever the manufacturer is, still had to get a Declaration of Conformity covering the laptop, module, likely peripherals, and AC adapter. What they didn't have to do is get a new full certification for the system. Just a DoC. A DoC still requires a lab test but it is cheaper than a full cert.
