Deities don't exist (as far as lack of evidence for and contrary to that notion evidence goes, no offense to theists) Gods and Goddesses (and other fictional entities and beings like fairies etc.) were made up by humans as a device to explain aspects in the universe, nature and life that which they don't understand, fear and desire.

If intelligent alien form exists and it were to visit us, bet many would kneel and worship them as deities, because people are superstitious and explain natural phenomena they are clueless about by supernatural propositions.

But back to Kaguya. An alien would be any life not originating from a certain ecosystem, so yeah, she is one. For "goddess" well, if you consider chakra to be magic in the Narutoverse then yes, she would be an actual goddess, but if chakra is naturalistic then no and we don't know.
