No need to cement the joints of the board as long as you get a good close fit to burn for acceptance. They have a good choice with cement board, at least in the lower half of the shower area, green board, but is somewhat impervious to moisture is not impervious to water damage. It should be used and has done a good job on cement slabs. The stitches will be saved, at least above the upper edge of the envelope.

No need to register with an attached shower.
In fact, only the green board instead of cement board.

Cement Board is used primarily for the tiles and the joints sealed with a strip of fiberglass mesh and tile grout.
