If you abstain from evil deeds due to fear of retribution, are you really a good person or are you a coward?

Let's say the only reason why I did not steal a handphone my colleague left lying on the table is due to fear of being caught on cctv

I do not get heavily drunk because I do not want to do something stupid

I treat waiters and service staff with respect because I do not want to be crucified on social media

Am I actually a good person? Or am I simply a coward?

It depends. The three main ethical theories are virtue ethics, deontology, and consequentialism (typically utilitarianism). The first two evaluate moral agents, and the third, arguably, evaluates moral actions.  
  
In virtue ethics, you are as good as what you regularly do. You are evaluated according to varioys virtues, like courage, moderation, etc. In virtue ethics, it is about doing the right thing, at the right time, in the right way, to the right degree, etc. In this system, you might be doing the right things, but you haven't yet developed virtue - fear is a vice, not a virtue. You might be called a coward here.  
  
In deontology, an agent is good only insofar as they act out of moral duty. Doing the right thing for the wrong reasons is not morally valuable. Coward might not be the right word, but this very strict system wouldn't consider you good.  
  
In utilitarianism, actions are evaluated according to maximizing pleasure and minimizing pain for all involved. Intention doesn't really matter. The actions you perform might indeed be good, but evaluating the agent isn't something this system would really do.
