Yep, it's the same stuff you use for laying the tile.
I'd recommend using wonderboard... As for how thick to go on the plywood or wonderboard, that all depends on how high you need to go. Usually 1/4" is all you need, but that's with an existing subfloor in place.
That said, I'd wait to hear back from Lumber to know for sure...
