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

Yes.

The word "valiosa" is identical in meaning, spelling, and grammar in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. The only difference is in pronunciation. In Brazilian Portuguese, vowels tend to be more open and clearly articulated. In Continental Portuguese, unstressed vowels (such as the "o" in "valiosa") are often reduced or "closed," and the overall rhythm of speech is more stress-timed compared to the more syllable-timed rhythm found in Brazil.
