Is this a friend request, a space invite, something else? Can I find a description somewhere or am I supposed to get invites from people I know?

Matrix doesn't have "friend requests" so it's a group or space invite.

And yes, you can be messaged by people you don't know, if they have your matrix address.

So probably spam if I don't know the person?

Definitely spam. There have been bots around that advertise crypto scam Telegram channels.
