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

Yes

The spelling, meaning, and grammatical function of "conversado" are identical in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. The only differences are phonological (pronunciation). In Brazilian Portuguese, the unstressed "e" in the second syllable is typically pronounced as a clear [e]. In Continental Portuguese, unstressed vowels are more frequently reduced, so that "e" sounds much more like a neutral, near-open [ɐ]. Additionally, the rhythm and cadence of the word differ due to the way Brazilians and Portuguese people approach vowel openness and syllable stress.
