Is this tile on my surround being installed wrong?

Hi Houzz,

We are having our surround tiled this week. The workers just went home for the day and I’m feeling stressed about the shape things are in. They are NOT done with the work (no grout yet, etc.), but my gut is telling me that this gap between the tile and the wall should’ve been filled before tiling. Isn’t that what the drywall tape is for? To create seams? I will reach out to the contractor directly, but I want to make sure I am educated on what needs to be done, so I know what to ask for from him. I am really hoping my bathroom isn’t ruined and this is a normal state of things at this phase in tiling...

Thanks for any help—
