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

Yes

The spelling, meaning, and grammatical usage of "inclusão" are identical in both Brazilian and European Portuguese. The only differences are found in pronunciation. In Brazilian Portuguese, vowels are generally more open and the rhythm of speech is more melodic and syllable-timed. In European Portuguese, there is a much stronger tendency toward vowel reduction, where unstressed vowels are often shortened or almost silenced, making the word sound more "clipped" or "staccato."
