Thanks again.
Yes, but there are times when the meanings blend. Examples:
Where are you? I'm in the gym/I'm at the gym.
A lot of times people use the words interchangeably, so it's good to be aware that this use is common. As someone new to the language I think it's safe to use in as a dentro de and at as enfrente de in this example.
