If you have new plasterboard or cement board you do not need to plaster it you can tile straight over it unless they are big tiles then you need to use cement based adhesive

A water prove cement mix on both then skim both after a curing period off seven day so you can tape any shrinkage or crack along both joints

The cement board can be primed and tiled straight on. The block wall can either be sand and cement waterproof render and skim. Or dry lined with a green moisture resistance board then skimmed
