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

Yes

The word is identical in spelling, meaning, and grammar across both variants. The only difference lies in pronunciation. In Brazilian Portuguese, the vowels are typically more open and clearly articulated. In Continental Portuguese, unstressed vowels are significantly reduced or "swallowed," which gives the word a more clipped, consonant-heavy sound.
