Is the word apresente the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?

Yes

The word "apresente" is identical in both Brazilian and European Portuguese in terms of meaning, grammar, spelling, and syntax. The only difference is pronunciation.

In Brazilian Portuguese, the unstressed final "e" is typically reduced to a sound similar to a light "ee" (/e/ $\rightarrow$ /i/). In European Portuguese, the final "e" is more closed and neutralized, often sounding nearly silent or like a very short, muffled vowel (/e/ $\rightarrow$ /ɨ/).
