question:
so, if you do this type of inference there's no access to the
private variable? is that correct?

What inference? What private variable? The code you posted has
neither.

I guess the compiler "infers" that the properties FirstName and
LastName should have a private backing variable, and that it should
generate the code to support getting and setting these values?

(This use of the term "inference" of course conflicts with another,
usual, use of the term "inference" in c#).
