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

Yes.

The word "autora" is identical in meaning, spelling, and grammar in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. It refers to a female author, writer, or creator of an idea, book, or work of art. The only difference is in pronunciation; Brazilian Portuguese generally uses more open vowels and a more melodic, rhythmic cadence, while Continental Portuguese features more closed vowels and a more "staccato" or consonant-heavy sound.
