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

Yes

The only difference between the two variants is pronunciation. In Brazilian Portuguese, vowels are generally more "open" and clearly articulated. In Continental Portuguese, unstressed vowels are often "closed" or reduced, which can make certain syllables sound much shorter or even swallowed compared to the Brazilian pronunciation.
