I interpreted it as a question, "Maria, what country do you come from?" Which should also be correct depending on the context.

出身is not only used for the country of your origin. It can be used for the school you attended. E.g. 東京大学出身です。

Why is there the particle 「の」between 「国」and 「出身」? I know in a response you wouldn't use a 「の」(For example: マリアさんはロシア出身です。)as tought in the first lesson, so why use it here?
