Xin chào, Mina
When 在 is used as preposition, it can indicate time and place.
As a preposition of place, 在 can be placed before and after the verb, depends on the verb.
There are some verbs where 在 can be placed before and after the verb, such as 出生, 发生, 产生, 居留,住,等等。
For examples:
1) 住在越南 = 在越南住
2) 出生在东京 = 在东京出生
3) 生长在纽约 = 在纽约生长
4) 事情发生在我家里 = 在我家里发生了一件事 (The meaning are a bit different though).
Hope they help,

It's same, but more correctly is 你住在哪儿

no difference . 两个你都是主语,两个住都是谓语,“在哪儿”在主謂之间肯定是状语,在谓语之后应该是补语,但是两句话意思上没有任何区别。

你住在哪儿?(比较常用)
你在哪儿住?
你在这儿坐。
你坐在这儿。
都是正确的表达。
