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

No

While the spelling and the literal definition of the word are identical in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese, there is a difference in typical usage. In Brazil, "blogueiro" is the standard and ubiquitous term used to describe anyone who creates content online, frequently serving as a synonym for social media influencers (on Instagram, TikTok, etc.), even if they do not maintain a traditional blog. In Portugal, while "blogueiro" is understood, the English loanword "blogger" is much more common in daily speech. Additionally, when referring to social media personalities, a Portuguese person is more likely to use the term "influenciador."
