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

Yes

The word "treinos" is identical in meaning, spelling, and grammar in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. The difference is purely phonetic. In Brazilian Portuguese, the "e" is typically more open ([e]), and the final "s" is pronounced as a soft [s]. In Continental Portuguese, the "e" is more closed or reduced, and the final "s" is pronounced as a "sh" sound ([ʃ]).
