Does this mean that a certain model of phone is currently being manufactured in Finland, or that the phone we are talking about was made in Finland?

My impression is that it could mean either, based on context.

I would day that if it is currently being manufactured, then it would be "Telefonen tillverkas i Finland"

Yes, it can be either about the individual device that is spoken about, or the brand/model that is the topic. The other comments are referring to a time when Nokia was made in Finland...(in eg. Salo) however there are now smaller brands of phones to keep an eye out for ... to be made in Finland.

Why is "tillverkad" used here and "tillverkade" used in the sentence "Leksakerna är tillverkade av oss"? Because of plural?

But always " tillverkade " regardless of singular/plural "Jag tillverkade telefonen", "Han tillverkade telefonerna"
