Microwave Transistor Amplifiers-Analysis and Design.Guillermo Gonzalez
The best book about fundamental of Microwave Engineering ever I have seen, no doubt..
In section 1.7 , the author said ( briefly)" In case of there is no transmission line so characteristic impedance is not defined, travelling voltage and current waves are not applicable( valid) anymore.Instead "Power Waves are used" and added an example for an example of conjugate matching case.
Gamma=Zload-conj(Zsource)/(Zload+Zsource)
So, the definition is coming from existence or nonexistence of a Transmission Line so briefly there is nothing to discuss, it's just terminology presumption.
