I’m making a spare bedroom into a bathroom and i was wondering if i can just put the cement board around my tub shower, or do i have to put it on all walls in the bathroom?

Cement board is used to give a sturdy backing for tiling. If you are installing a fiberglass enclosure, you can simply use water resistant sheetrock. And yes, just the shower enclosure is fine.
You’ll need to do the cement board around the shower and a bit further out, the other walls should be fine with green board…don’t forget the liner for the shower bottom. It is very important, since grout really is not water tight. When in doubt have a licensed plumber install that, it is cheaper than having a water leak and having to take everything out to start over.
