How can comments be submitted when I don’t have a comment box on a page?

The visual representation of a comment form (or lack of it) do not have any impact on the ability to receive comments, and spammers usually don’t care at all what is in your form. WordPress have a well publicized end point to which all comments are being sent (and while I don’t remember the detail off the top of my head right now) and spammers can post to that endpoint with enough details to make a proper comment, without even loading the post to which they comment to.

One of the easy antispam steps against lazy spammers is to add an hidden field to the comment form and discard every comment which is submitted without it.
