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

Yes

The spelling, grammar, and meaning of "editor" are identical in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. The difference is strictly phonetic. In Brazil, the pronunciation is more melodic with more open, clearly articulated vowels. In Portugal, the pronunciation is more "closed," with unstressed vowels often being reduced or swallowed, making the word sound shorter and more clipped.
