Quotes " are used around fixed text values in a formula.
For example, ="Zan" returns the text Zan.
"" is an empty string (text value), and " " is a string consisting of a space.
& is the concatenation operator. For example, "Zan" & " " & "Hanifee" returns Zan Hanifee.
You wanted to concatenate the code enclosed in [ ] with the country.
To get the code enclosed in [ ] we use "[" & A2 & "]"
We concatenate this with the result of VLOOKUP:
="[" & A2 &"]" & VLOOKUP(...)

The attached version shows a way to do it using INDEX, SMALL and COUNTIF.
I don't know of a way to do it using VLOOKUP without a helper column.
