There are two projects related to Google going on - one is this one, from Verily, another is broader information website, led by Google. From TC[1]:
Google later clarified is that there are at least two different efforts here. Google’s work around bringing more information about COVID-19 to its users across its various services — and Verily’s efforts to launch a pilot website “that will enable individuals to do a risk assessment and be scheduled for testing at sites in the Bay Area.”
I can not say which one Trump meant - and am not sure if he really goes into the details beyond "we're working with Google folks on making information available" - the President usually doesn't do such things by himself, he delegates - but I would assume he probably meant the other one. But maybe both. Or maybe just Verily effort and extending it to broader reach. We'll see.

Interestingly they don't mention anything past California as an ambition, was this the idea Trump was talking about?
