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

Yes

The word "excluído" is identical in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese in terms of meaning, spelling, and grammatical function. The only difference is pronunciation. In Brazil, vowels are generally more open and clearly articulated. In Portugal, unstressed vowels tend to be more closed or "reduced," which can make the word sound slightly more clipped or shorter to a Brazilian ear.
