Is there an option to have IFTTT perform the following action sequence:
- IF Facebook page status update
- THEN wait random 0-120 minutes
- Then post update to Twitter (or other target)
If so – how should I go about to make such recipe?
If This Then That random timer delay before action
if-this-then-that

Not with IFTTT but it is possible with a competitor - Stringify.
Stringify works in a similar manner to IFTTT, and will interact with it so that you can combine their abilities.
Stringify includes a timer "thing" that can be inserted into a "flow" (equivalent to an IFTTT "recipe"). By default the timer will be fixed, but you can add a mathematical function "thing" to provide the timer duration.
Your "flow" can link to Facebook and Twitter as you require.
