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

Yes

The word "juntos" is identical in meaning, grammar, and spelling in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. The only difference is in pronunciation. In Brazilian Portuguese, the final "s" is typically pronounced as a sibilant [s], similar to the "s" in the English word "sun." In Continental Portuguese, the final "s" is typically pronounced as a postalveolar fricative [ʃ], similar to the "sh" in the English word "shoe."
