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

Yes

The only difference between the two dialects regarding this word is pronunciation. The spelling, meaning, and grammatical function are identical. In Brazilian Portuguese, the unstressed vowels are more open and clearly articulated. In Continental Portuguese, unstressed vowels tend to be "reduced" or "closed," meaning the initial "o" in organização sounds much more muffled, almost approaching a short "u" sound.
