Well, from my point of view, the difference is the market size (Brazil
has IIRC 170 million, Portugal about 10 million people), which makes
Brazilian an easier sell.  :-)	
   I don't know anything about the East Timor dialect but I'd bet that
if you use either Iberian or Brazilian, you'd be understood, you just
wouldn't sound like a native (which is what localization aims for). 
Comparable, I'd think, to the difference between Southern US English and
Australian--you might not know what a "hushpuppy" is or use "y'all"
correctly, but could usually get by if you avoid slang.
