I imagine stone would be the same along with tempered/heat proof/resistant glass if non-combustibility were the determining factor

No Seriph, been there done that. Tempered glass needs the fireproof backing if within 200mm, don't know about stone though.

I don't non-flammability is the sole determining factor. Insulation is also important. Steel or glass could theoretically transmit heat to flammable insulation in the wall cavity and set it on fire.

The Energy Safe Victoria (and presumably equivalent in other states) website says what is ok.

The only product listed, that doesn't have to comply with the standard, is ceramic tiles of a certain minimum thickness, or an unspecified method of mounting the glass that comes with documentation to the fact that it avoids the combustible surface reaching a certain temperature.
