Well it depends on the sentence dibs and right can both refer to having ownership of something. But dibs is more colloquial speech (口语话). Right is more powerful has more emphasis and is more formal (正式)。 Dibs is more like a colloquial slang (俚语, 口语).
The difference is very subtle really. If you say:
Hey! I called dibs! That's mine! - it seems as though you are childish and immature.
Hey! I have the right to eat that! That's mine! - seems you are more entitled.
Right is emphasizing on entitlement, you have ability to do something because of who you are and your status.
Dibs is a childish thing, its used by people who are immature like children and want to argue that something should be their's even if they don't deserve it. Calling dibs is rather like territorial. Sometimes men will use this on women treating them like objects saying that he called "dibs" on this woman. It is not formal speech and might make you seem foolish if you are trying to be sophisticated and use this word.
Hope this helped you, sorry I explained in English. My Chinese is not good enough to explain this to you..
