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

Yes

The spelling, meaning, and grammatical conjugation of "incluiu" are identical in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. The only difference lies in pronunciation. In Brazilian Portuguese, unstressed vowels are generally more "open" and clearly articulated. In Continental Portuguese, unstressed vowels (such as the "i" in the first syllable) are often "reduced" or "swallowed," which makes the word sound more clipped and the syllable structure more condensed.
