Correct. You want no drywall in there.

Waterproofing membranes are all the rage and have come onto the market pretty recently. As one member mentioned, read up all you can on the subject.

But definitely no drywall in the enclosure. We expended the backer board about 12 inches past the shower enclosure just for good measure.
