Micro services is a team organization pattern, emulating the software service model, except within a micro economy (i.e. a single business). In practice, this means that teams limit communication to the sharing of documentation and established API contracts, allowing people to scale without getting bogged down in meetings.

Could it be that deployment patterns and team organization patterns are the same thing, especially in this age of build-run teams?

Conway might find some correlation, but strictly speaking, no. A service is not bound to any particular deployment pattern. Consider services in the macro economy. Each individual business providing a service is bound to do things differently. As micro services are merely emulation of macro services in the micro, each team is equally free to do things however they wish.
