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

Yes

The word "faca" is identical in spelling, meaning, and grammatical gender in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. The only difference is in pronunciation. In Brazilian Portuguese, the vowels are typically more "open" and clearly articulated. In Continental Portuguese, unstressed vowels are often "reduced" or "swallowed," meaning the "a" might sound much more closed or almost disappear depending on the rhythm of the sentence.
