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

Yes

The only difference between "regulares" in Brazilian Portuguese and Continental Portuguese is pronunciation. In Brazil, the vowels are generally more open and clearly articulated. In Portugal, unstressed vowels are more subject to reduction, meaning they are pronounced with a "closed" or more neutralized sound. The spelling, meaning (referring to something consistent, standard, or average), and grammatical usage are identical.
