How does docker run other operating systems?

If docker is just a process on an OS with cgroups isolation, and containers are also processes on the same OS, how does it run containers on other OSes?

Containers use the same kernel as the host. If you did not mean different Linux distributions by "other OS", then the answer is a hypervisor + virtual machine with the desired OS.
