Morphology
The phrase is directly compositional: 'from' marks origin and 'all over' means throughout many places or everywhere, so the combined sense 'coming from many different places' follows straightforwardly from the parts. This is a common, cross-linguistically frequent construction and a standard English prepositional pattern, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
From all over paints a picture of people or things arriving at one place from many points on a map, like arrows pointing toward a city. So it means 'coming from many different places'.
