I play Jayce strictly top lane, and yes, he can and will win most match-ups. I will tell you how and who he does well against:

Champs who have no ranged harass; Jayce's ranged form is simply perfect for dealing with top lane bruisers rely on being in meele to exchange damage, since he can run from them while continuing to attack, and can't be pushed away from farm.

Champs who deal sustained damage rather than in quick bursts; best examples i can give are irelia and darius, who rely on jumping on you and continously attacking you to land all hiten charged autos on itelia, or to stack passive on you, in case of darius. They jump you, but before they can do much damage, you switch to hammer, auto, Q+E, and you suddenly came up better in that exchange, and they wasted a couple of large cooldowns (hiten style, apprehend).

He can indeed have a problem with champs who deal burst damage better than him, though, as they can simply deliver their combo before you can finish your combo, like olaf, malphite, lee sin, but it's not complete canon here.
