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

Yes

The spelling, meaning, and grammar of "exuberante" are identical in both Brazilian and European Portuguese. The only difference lies in pronunciation (phonology). In Brazilian Portuguese, the vowels are more open, and the unstressed final "e" is typically pronounced as a clear "i" (e.g., exuberante [eʒuˈbeɾɐ̃tʃi]). In European Portuguese, unstressed vowels are much more closed or even reduced to the point of being nearly silent, resulting in a shorter, more clipped sound (e.g., exuberante [eʒuˈbeɾɐntɨ]).
