All Code G means is that you contribute to a Section 457(b) plan. It has nothing to do with the government.

G — Elective deferrals and employer contributions (including non-elective deferrals) to a Section 457(b) deferred compensation plan.

A public university is not a government agency, so no, that would not be considered working for the government.
