Morphology
The verb 'roll' (to move by turning) plus the directional 'in' transparently suggests motion into a place, so a B1 learner could infer a basic sense of 'arrive' or 'move in' from the constituents. However, the typical usage implying steady or large-number arrivals (and its metaphorical extensions, e.g. guests or profits 'rolling in') is a figurative extension not fully predictable from the literal meanings, so full comprehension often requires prior exposure.
Etymology
Roll in may come from the image of something that literally rolls in, like barrels or a wave moving into a place. So when people or things 'roll in' today, they 'arrive' or 'appear steadily or in large numbers'.
