Whatever example you are looking at, it is an OpenLayers example.
That is a client-side mapping display tool, which can optionally show
Google's mapping imagery via the use of Google's own maps API in
addition to the OpenLayers code.

So far as I know, Geoserver is just that, a server, and you won't be
able or allowed to add Google maps to it.   For Geoserver to be any
practical use, you have to view it with some client-side app or
another ... like OpenLayers, for example.   If you want to include
Google maps for user view, its the client-side you should be looking
into.
