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

Yes

The word "cederem" is identical in meaning, grammar, and spelling in both Brazilian and European Portuguese. The only difference lies in pronunciation. In Brazilian Portuguese, the vowels are typically more open and the "e" is more clearly articulated. In European Portuguese, unstressed vowels are more reduced and "closed," which often makes the word sound more compressed or shortened.
