No. You would have to use your own API keys, which I do not know how you could pass via environment variables on Android. This is not a limitation of Bromite but of all Chromium-based projects in general, as general public is not allowed to use Google's APIs for free unless when using Chrome.
A build server goes through the very lengthy build operation and then new versions are available in this project as releases.
Each tag corresponds to a Chromium release tag.
The bromite main repository contains tags for each corresponding Chromium release (see https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git).
Please refer to official Chromium build documentation to get started on how to build Chromium; if you can build Chromium for Android, you can build Bromite.
