Does this mean Jesus Christ is making difference between himself and God here?
No, but the opposite is the case. He did not say, "I am not good because only God is good," but he asked, "why do you call me good? Only God is good." He is asking, in effect, "Only God is good, yet you call me good- do you believe I am God?"
He says "I am the good Shepard." (John 10:11)

No one is good except God;Jesus wanted this man to realise that if truely believes that Jesus is good then He is God,therefore Jesus proved to this man that Himself was God.
