Since gravity can be described as a curvature in spacetime, can other forces like EM, Weak, Strong etc? Be described similarly

Not strictly space-time, but look up Kaluza-Klein theory, where an additional dimension allows for the inclusion of EM forces.

Even before we get to KK theories, differential geometry is the basic language of the classical description of forces. Connections and curvature are central to this description. In short, the answer to your question is yes, but it is not the curvature of space-time, but something built over space-time.

 

You should look up fibre bundles, connection and curvature.
