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

Yes

The word "filtros" is identical in spelling, meaning, and grammatical function in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. The only difference lies in pronunciation. In Brazilian Portuguese, the vowels tend to be more open and the rhythm is more melodic. In Continental Portuguese, unstressed vowels are more closed and often reduced, meaning the "o" in "filtros" may sound much more like a "u" than it would in Brazil.
