Yes, the positron and electron have the same kinetic energy in pair production. Conservation of the quantum mechanical characteristics (all of them) is a must in this phenomenon, and the particles will "balance" as regards the kinetic energy they come away from the event with. Further, the atom that "helps" in the event will share in balancing the equations to insure conservation. We must include this because pair production from a highly energetic gamma ray does not occur without the "assistance" of an atomic nucleus. Links can be found below.
