Is this a cavity wall under the tiles?

We have a similar age home that has 2 "pillars" at each side of the house with windows set back between these pillars .
We had a pebble dash inset from the ridge (gable of house is front facing ) down to above the living room window. It's now rendered .

When we had cavity wall insulation done ( after a lot of huffing and puffing ) they told us the 2 pillars took a heck of a lot of filling.
Thinking about it now I'm assuming that we have a deeper cavity on the pillars and a standard cavity depth where the pebble dash is , hence why we have a regular depth window sill inside and the window appears set back a long way.

With the tiled inset in the first photo there doesn't appear to be the same extra depth at the side of the windows

Thanks. So if someone wanted to use interior insulation they'd need an air gap etc ?
