here's a picture before I start

I redrilled/re-ran the wire so it's not near the pipe by the control-device on the shower, but will leave the rest, put on a vapor barrier, 1/2" backer board, fiberglass tape with thinset, redgard coating, then tile
will that be sufficient?
...that's an old phone line at the bottom tangled up

Like Brian said , I hope that's not a junction box behind the ladder on that wall, cause it sure looks like one and you put a stainless cover on it. That is not only dangerous but illegal ,. And it looks like you have 4 wires coming into it as well as 2 clear extension cord wires. Also a no-no. Tear down your drywall and route the wires thru the ceiling. That is definitely not safe

While it's not always usual to run wiring where it can't be accessed; if the wiring isn't bare, and/or the receptacles aren't actually IN the shower; I don't see a problem. I want to assume this is a relocation? OR are you doing the electrical shwoer thing? That's a TREND I'll probably never understand. No offense.
The balance of the construction as described and intended is fine.
If it was my house/bathroom; I'd probably want to design access, even on a wall in an adjacent room.
Just my 2 cents.

well if it the end of the tub with the pipes running through the walls I would stay away from it. If you cut a water line or sewer pipe you will have more troubles. NO need for a GFCI. They dont fight off dampness, they protect you from personal injury where there is water basins and earth that you can come into contact with. As long as there isnt a tub, sink or jacuzzi in the bedroom in only needs to be a regular outlet. But again if possible stay away from the pipes. If a plumber has to get into the chase, they might not want an outlet in the way. If it is on the side of the tub or the end with no pipes, have at it.

What is going on in that box in the middle? Any junction boxes, etc, need to be accessible and tiling over one would definitely be a no-no code-wise. If you can re-run a solid piece of wire that would be best.

Change the receptacle on the left of the photo to a GFCI if it's not on the run with the GFCI on the right side.

looks better than most contractors I know of. I think it will suffice. For really good information, google Holmes on Homes. The guy is awesome.
