The problem here is that you have violated 1NF by storing multiple values in a single tuple. You are going to have to parse this into rows. You can use the built in https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/functions/string-split-transact-sql?view=sql-server-ver16 for this.

select *
from #countriesData c
cross apply STRING_SPLIT(c.countries, '|') x
