Waterproofing goes under the tiles. The standard or manufacturer's guides will explain the requirements. Depends somewhat as to the base of the shower, whether tiled or a tray or a solid base, as to what is expected to be waterproofed

Grout is not waterproof, that is why there is a waterproof membrane to protect from the water that gets under the tiles. There are companies that advertise services to seal tiles and grout but is only a band-aid solution. if the waterproof membrane is intact, and water stops and puddle flanges installed correctly water under tiles should not be an issue.
