Thats what I figured, I hope he does not plan on installing dryall over the shower, Ill just fasten the wonderboard directly to studs
HOWEVER...
If you intend to tile the ceiling, DO NOT use drywall. The smooth surface of the drywall doesn't make for a very good bond to the tile. Durock has a very rough texture that makes for far better mechanical adhesion.

You could use it but I think it is overkill for a back splash. In my opinion, that is better suited to a shower or to waterproof a basement wall.

This is for shower! Well Whirlpool tub
The rule of thumb would be the height of the plumbing fixture. In a shower, the shower head is pretty high up and the water comes down on the tile during normal use of the shower. In a tub, the fixture is in the tub and the water would have to be splashed on the walls.
Unless you plan on getting giggy with it in the tub on a regular basis, the water proffer is probably overkill on the walls around the tub.

but put roofing felt behind the board. overlap the seams like siding, too, so the water goes down, not up. I would definitely recommend Durock in that application, too... Not the thin stuff...
