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

Yes

The spelling, meaning, and grammatical function of the word "memes" are identical in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. The only difference lies in pronunciation. In Brazilian Portuguese, the vowels are generally more open and clearly articulated. In Continental Portuguese, unstressed vowels are often more closed or reduced, meaning the "e" sounds may be shorter or more subtle.
