Do you pay taxes on dividends and capital gains for ADR stocks by filing returns in the foreign countries or is the tax withheld automatically?

Your dividend statements should say whether tax has been withheld or not, this could come under 'franked amount' (which means tax has been paid on this particular dividend) or maybe you have an amount under 'foreign tax credit' which is the amount you claim in your country so you don't pay tax twice. If you only have unfranked amounts that means tax hasn't been paid on that dividend.
From experience in Australia you do not have to file overseas if you have dividends in Another Country as the tax you pay in Australia is based on all forms of income made in Australia and made outside of Australia so you would file in your own country to pay the tax on the dividends. Under no circumstances would you have to pay tax in both countries in regards to the dividends.
