You just have to load / open the tiff file in QGIS as a raster layer.
To clarify, all steps can be carried out in the local filesystem, no
need to upload anything to a server.

The tiff file created in step 1 has georeferencing info (which QGIS
will understand) in the world file but you will need to manually tell
QGIS what the CRS is.

Step 3 is exporting the layer as a geotiff file. Geotiff carries
georeferenced data, including CRS, in just one file and hopefully
you'll be able to use it with your application.
