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

Yes

The word "argentino" is identical in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese regarding spelling, meaning, and grammatical function. The only difference is in pronunciation. In Brazilian Portuguese, the vowels are generally more open and the pronunciation is more syllable-timed. In Continental Portuguese, unstressed vowels are often more closed, reduced, or even elided (nearly silent), and the rhythm of the language is more stress-timed.
