How do you programmatically create a check-in place on Facebook? The graph API allows you to check-in on existing place (which is represented by a page. You pass coordinates and server returns an array with places with given accuracy and then you can select where to check-in). What I need is to be able to pass coordinates (long and lat) and either check-in if the page of place is exists or create new (I have all the information, ie. address, phone, id etc.).

Unfortunately you can't do it with current FB public API. There is a bug report: http://bugs.developers.facebook.net/show_bug.cgi?id=13388
See also discussion on: http://forum.developers.facebook.net/viewtopic.php?id=82074
You may also try as workaround use webview showing touch.facebook.

You cannot create new places via the API, only check into existing places.
