Microtransactions to me are when you pay a miniscule amount of money for some item, and can do that whenever you want as many times as you want.
Paying for extra bullets in some mobile phone game... that's microtransaction. These retainers... I can't fit them under the microtransaction umbrella...
You can define it in multipple ways - In general it's for paying for extra services not offered by the base price. DLC's are microtransaction because you're buying additional content or usually "bonus" items for an additional fee not in your $40-$70 game purchase.

It's usually tied to P2W/F2P games but it exists everywhere, it just has a negative connotation when it comes to certain groups and SE is notorious for it lately lol.
