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

Yes

The word "batedeira" is identical in meaning, spelling, and grammar in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. The only difference is in pronunciation. In Brazilian Portuguese, the vowels are more open and the rhythm is more melodic/syllable-timed. In Continental Portuguese, the vowels (especially unstressed ones) are much more closed or even swallowed, and the rhythm is more stress-timed, making the consonants sound more prominent.
