    Do you mean cement board?

    I've cement board on flors and walls to create wet rooms. Guys here tanked and sealed it then tiled in normal way - no hardwall required.
    Why not contact the board manufacturer or check its IAB cert?

    You can tile directly onto the Green Boards, no need for pre-treatment.
    Its only if your skimming or plastering onto the greens boards that you need to pre-treat it with a unibond or similar.

    also wondering if I should green slab my bathroom before tiling as it’s partition at the moment or what material should I cover walls with. I will have a walk in shower with tray also

    You should install the water proof boards instead of plasterboard.
