I would like to know it this would be the same as cocunut oil because here in brasil is really hard to find coconut oil but coconut milk is easy and really cheap.....i wanted to have all thos MCTs to power my work out and i would like to know if coconut milk will do the trick...THANKS!!!

No.

Coconut oil is 100% fat, used for frying or even soap.
Coconut milk is 70% water and 20% fat, used in cooking curries etc.

Coconut Milk isn't the same as Coconut Oil, but you can still have it and it will still have some MCTS.

I don't know what food is like there in Brazil, but just make sure it's real coconut milk, no added sugars or any other ingredients.

and what about coconut meat?

Don't know how it racks up on MCT, but it's a perfect keto food. 1oz of fresh coconut meat has 98 cals, 1g protein, 10g fat and 1g carbs (less if you subtract fibre)
