No , GST charged is not part of deferred tax because when we purchased Machine , entry will be

Machine A/c Dr
CGST A/c Dr
SGST A/c Dr
To Trade Creditor A/c Cr
( purchase of Machine)

So we take actual cost of Machine in the Balance Sheet . Further the depreciation charged as per Companies act and Income tax act are on actual cost of Machine for calculation of deferred tax , so no involvement of GST amount in the cost of an asset .

You can show un utilise input tax credit in the Balance sheet and pass entry on 31st March as follows

CGST Balance with Revenue Authority A/c
Dr
SGST Balance with Revenue Authority A/c Dr
To Input CGST A/c Cr
To Input SGST A/c Cr
( Input tax credit transfer )

In the next F.Y on 1st April you can reverse above entry and utilise credit.
