Lelouch is still different from Light because there are people he genuinely cares about. If you recall Light cared about no one and was even willing to sacrifice his family for his cause.
I think what Lelouch did in this episode was despicable but I also don't think Lelouch's goals were ever selfless. It was always about making a perfect world for Nunnaly not a perfect world for Japan. Just helping the Japanese sort of went along with his goals. And keep in mind that this massacre was all because of Shirley. Lelouch tends to think about the people that are close and loyal to him. I don't think he really cares about the world as a whole.
I don't know if Lelouch will die but I doubt it will be a happy ending for him.
