Is it possible to embed my own video player in Facebook, so I can see the video directly in the timeline, like all the YouTube videos?
Are there any metatags I need to include in the <head> section of my site?

You must first get your Flash player approved by submitting a video embed whitelist request.
Once this is approved, which took 4 hours for me when I look back on emails from my request, your player will be able to be shown just as YouTube videos are. You can then use the Facebook Share help guide which fire mentioned in his reply. Also, another helpful thing is the URL Linter which tells you how Facebook is interpreting the metadata on your pages.
