Hi, no problem with tiling directly on to MR boards,but would suggest you use a tanking solution or prime the boards before tiling but use an ACRYLIC primer NOT PVA and use a good quality adhesive and grout and NOT a combined tile &grout product.
A little thing to remember is that even with the best adhesives and grout you are likely to get some water penetration after continuous water falling for only TWO minutes !.
Happy tiling

If it is tiled correctly using waterproof adhesive and grout and is sealed properly around the bath/shower tray then it should be water tight and yes, you can tile directly onto the plasterboard
