On the way home, Mom smiles and says, "Good job, Hojin. The concert is over. Move and laugh now. It's okay."

In this context, in the last sentence, 'What does 'It' refer to?

That is the good old generic use of "it" again! There is no particular reference, but the word seems to mean his life or the current circumstances.
======================================
1. Move and laugh now. It's okay.
2. Moving and laughing now is okay.
[Doesn't "It" refer to 'Moving and laughing now' as in #2?]

"It's okay!" in this context is just as I explained before. That's the generic "it" just as in "It's been raining for 2 hours now" or "It's great that you have been accepted at _____ University." (Etc.)
