That is... not right as far as I know. It is a bit complicated to describe both genres, but I wouldn't say dubstep is faster. Both are about 70 beats per minute. Drum'n'Bass is already around 160 beats per minute or more.

Dubstep is a slow, bass-filled, grinding-like music. It has influences from dub, reggae, drum'n'bass and so on. People often dexcribe it as a "dirty love-making" sound" (lol).
I haven't come across a real dubstep remix of Ayu's songs yet. Or at least I can't remember one.

Dub originated in reggae, you can hear that quite well, but dub songs usually (not always) are remixes of a song. It then adds tons of echoes to get a kind of... more dimensional structure, remodels the whole song to the max, removes vocals or "uses" them as instruments and also emphasizes the bass.
Examples for this genre are:
Happy Ending (Mad Professor Remix) from ayu-mi-x 6 <--especially this one!
Dearest "The Implication Dub Mix" from ayu-mi-x 4
Who... "Who dub it?" from ayu-mi-x 2

There are a lot of mixes that use the term "dub" though. But not to refer to the dub genre, but "to describe the re-formatting of music of various genres into typically instrumental, rhythm-centric adaptations", meaning it is a remix that focuses more on the instrumental work of a song than the singing.
