The properties of a microstrip line, and uniform transmission lines in general, can be described very well by considering the geometric filling factor, q, and the dielectric permittivity separately. Fitting of the microstrip data yields a formula for q in terms of the geometry parameters :
A microstrip line has a characteristic impedance Z0 of 50Ω derived from reflection coefficient measurements and an effective permittivity, εe, of 7 derived from measurement of phase velocity. What is the line’s per-unit-length inductance, L, and capacitance, C? Solution
Microstrip lines are the most commonly used in all planar circuits despite of the frequencies ranges of the applied signals. Microstrip lines are the most commonly used transmission lines at high frequencies. Quasi-static analysis of microstrip lines involves evaluating them as parallel plates transmission lines, supporting a pure “TEM” mode.
The inductance values presented in this application note were derived from simulations using frequencies around 1575 MHz. A microstrip transmission line involves inductance associated with the flow of current in the conductor and capacitance associated with the strip separated from ground by the dielectric substrate.
where for a microstrip line q has the bounds \label {eq:18}\frac {1} {2}\leq q\leq 1 The useful aspect of q is that it is almost independent of \varepsilon_ {r}. A q factor of 1 would indicate that all of the fields are in the dielectric region.
In addition, the close proximity of conductive lines in a meander line configuration can result in the coupling of energy from adjacent lines, also causing losses. Surface waves are electromagnetic waves that propagate on the dielectric interface layer of the Microstrip. The propagation modes of surface waves are practically TE and TM.

How do microstrips actually represent lumped components?
If we consider a microstrip line; the lower impedance it is, the wider it will be. This results in greater capacitance because, as you said, there are two pieces of conductor with a dielectric between them which is exactly the structure of a capacitor. So a lower impedance means a larger capacitor area and therefore larger capacitance.
