その、どの という意味です。
普通の which の使い方に in を足しただけです。
全部の文、前後の分があると説明しやすいですけど、、、
In which country are they playing the World Cup? どの国でワールドカップしてるの？
= Which country are they playing the World Cup in?
I went to Qatar in which the World Cup is going on.
in which = where W杯が行われているカタールへ行った。

関係代名詞の話なのではと思います。
日本語で表現を使い分けない所なので、例文で見たほうが分かりやすいと思います。
【in whichにしない事例①】
・その映画は去年出た。That movie came out last year.
・それは去年出た映画だ。That is a movie [that/which] came out last year.
【in whichにしない事例②】
・私はその映画を見た。I saw that movie.
・それが私が見た映画だ。That is the movie (that/which) I saw.
【in whchにする事例】
・その映画で、犬はピザを食べる。A dog eats pizza in that movie.
※movie はここで、eat の主語でも目的語でもなく、in の目的語です。（考えようによっては、a dog eats pizza という完結した物語のただの舞台です。）
・それは、犬がピザを食べる映画だ。
【文語】That is a movie in which a dog eats pizza.
【口語】That is a movie where a dog eats pizza.

You can use "in which" as a precise way to introduce a relative clause after a noun that refers to a place or to a time.
"in which" は、場所や時間を表す名詞の後に関係節を導入する正確な方法として使用できます。
