You were port scanned, or someone at the very least connected to port 22 on your box. That doesn't mean that they got in, or even that they tried. Something just opened that port and dropped it -- someone could have mis-typed an IP and hit control-C just as they were connecting, or someone might have scanned you intentionally for malicious reasons. Who knows?
