When I was in America, I often heard people say "Come on in" when telling someone to enter the room. Is it exactly the same meaning as "Come in"?

it is the same meaning, except 'come in' could be considered more formal than 'come on in'.
'come on in' is something you would reserve to those whom you can be more casual with. friends and like.
considering the usa is a very casual country as compared to a country like england, i am would not be surprised if you had heard it quite often.
