Fitting Showing Head Bracket Through Tiles and Plasterboard

I've just about finished tiling my bathroom, so will be fixing the shower head bracket and shower curtain rail back up in the next few days. Question is, do i need a wall plug for the screws to go into?

My internal wall is made up with:

metal stud frame
12mm plywood screwed to the frame
20mm concrete (waterproof) board screwed to the plywood
tile & adhesive on top of the concrete board, approx 5-6mm thick

I had been looking for long wall plugs, suitable for plasterboard type walls. However, I was advised in a proper-local-type DIY shop that the screws should grip on to the plywood and provide a firm fix for the bracket.

What would people recommend?
