Asking about someone's current activity.
Contexto cultural
Swedes value directness. 'Vad gör du?' is a standard, polite way to initiate contact. Very similar to Swedish. 'Hva gjør du?' is the Norwegian equivalent. Danes use 'Hvad laver du?'. It is similar but uses the verb 'lave' (to make/do). Swedish is an official language in Finland. The usage is identical to Sweden.
Listen for the 'd'
In very casual speech, the 'd' in 'Vad' might disappear. Listen closely to native speakers.
Don't overthink it
It's just a friendly way to say hello. Don't worry about being too formal.
