Morphology
The meaning 'a very significant distinction or effect' is directly derived from combining 'huge' (very large) with 'difference' (a distinction or change). This adjective + noun composition is fully compositional and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand the phrase.
Etymology
Huge difference creates a picture of a very large gap between two things. The word huge means very big and difference is what separates them, so when we say something makes a huge difference we mean it has a 'big effect' or causes a 'strong change'.
