Scripture uses the word "flesh" in various ways. Sometimes it simply refers to the physical body, but sometimes it refers to our sinful natures ("the deeds of the flesh" referred to in Romans 8:13). "Living in the flesh" would usually refer to living in sin/walking in darkness (though in some contexts it could simply mean to live in a human body here on earth), while living in the Spirit would mean obeying God and seeking sanctification.

Regarding Jesus, we know for sure that He came to earth in a real, physical human body (1 John 4:2). He was fully God and fully man. In Matthew 3:16, during His baptism, the Holy Spirit descended from heaven and rested on Him. So it's not really a question of whether Jesus came in the flesh OR In the Spirit, since it is both. Jesus is fully human though completely without sin. He had to be fully human in order to be our substitute in receiving the penalty for our sins, and He had to be fully God in order to withstand it and rise from the dead. Now he is seated at the right hand of the Father, interceding on our behalf!
