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

Yes

The word "vemos" is identical in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese in terms of meaning, spelling, and grammar (it is the first-person plural present indicative of the verb ver). The only difference is pronunciation. In Brazilian Portuguese, vowels tend to be more open and unstressed vowels are more clearly articulated. In Continental Portuguese, unstressed vowels are often more closed, neutralized, or even reduced in natural speech.
