Reason is I visited a show house and looks like there is a false wall (red arrow in pic) to accommodate the recessed shower niche. So that means if there is no shower niche, there won't be a false wall. Am I correct? Appreciate any feedback.

You buy them pre-made at 100mm deep so it fits into standard 90mm framing and plasterboard face. Depends what's on the other side of the wall but normally they can be installed simply into a single wall.
