I guess FCC approval applies to consumer products sold to the public.
It would be akin to you and your friends making a phone and using it within a limited space. Its my understanding that the FCC regulates interstate communications (as far as phones go). Hence if the Nexus is used on Google Campus there should be no need for FCC approval. Remember from the leaks it was not operating on a carrier's network. Just that someone put in an ATT SIM card, but that is not part of the equipment. The only question would be the Wifi which I'm not sure of. They are probably using the Wifi at Google to test it.
Then once submitting the testing result you have to show how you tested it, what you used and who did it.
