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

Yes.

The meaning, spelling, and grammatical function of "reembolso" are identical in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. The only difference is in pronunciation. In Brazil, the vowels tend to be more open and the rhythm is more syllable-timed, making the word sound more melodic. In Portugal, the unstressed vowels are more closed (and sometimes almost silent), and the rhythm is more stress-timed, making the word sound more clipped.
