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

Yes

The word "diálogos" is identical in spelling, meaning, and grammatical function in both Brazilian and European Portuguese. The only difference is in pronunciation. In Brazilian Portuguese, vowels—especially unstressed ones—tend to be more open and clearly articulated. In European Portuguese, unstressed vowels undergo significant reduction, meaning they are often pronounced much more closed, shorter, or even swallowed.
