I realize that anything micronized is absorbed more quickly (e.g. creatine monohydrate), so is that the only difference between micronized DHEA and DHEA? Would non-micronized DHEA not be as effective, and therefore it is worth the extra money to purchase (ultra)micronized DHEA?

Yes, micronizing is a process to reduce micron diameter. This makes it more absorbable. That is the only difference. That said, 100mg of DHEA does not equal 100mg of Micronized DHEA, as you will get more out of the micronized version, and it's absorbed faster for more immediate effects.

Anything available micronized is the way to go.
