"As in"
When I ask question by using examples, they often use "as in your example X" If they confirm my examples . Is it some kind of reduced phrase? or "as in" means "for example" ?
For instance:
Me: Can I use this structure in my sentences? And I give my examples.
Someone answering my question: 1- Yes, you could use this structure, as in sentence 3.

"2- ...In Russia under the Communist Soviet this state of things has been reversed. If a married couple cannot agree, they can obtain a divorce without having to pretend to disgrace themselves as in Protestant England..." (source)
What is the function of "as in" in the sentence above? I think the writer gives another example to a land where a couple can divorce without disgracing themselves.

Are these usages of "as in" in sentence 1 and 2 the same as "https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/332301/correct-use-and-best-definition-of-as-in" of it? (Here is the link to the usage I meant by "this usage" : https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/332301/correct-use-and-best-definition-of-as-in
