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

Yes

The word "integram" is identical in spelling, meaning, and grammar in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese; it is the third-person plural present indicative of the verb integrar. The only difference is pronunciation. In Brazilian Portuguese, the unstressed "e" is pronounced clearly (as [e]), whereas in Continental Portuguese, it undergoes significant reduction, often sounding like a closed [i] or a nearly silent schwa [ɨ].
