PVA where the pipe has been chased out, leave it to dry over night then re-apply PVA, let that go tacky then fill out and plaster with one coat plaster.
You could use a base base coat then a finish plaster, instead of one coat but for area you are repairing, not worth it.
I assume it's the gas supply pipe?

Better leaving it as it is. Alkali renders etc eat away at copper and perforate pipes - then you've got a gas leak in a place you don't want one. Boom!

the pipe has been wrapped ass

so it ain't gonna matter what plaster you put over it

If you are tiling again then leave it where it is and make sure you dont have a vertical grout line over it, if not then use one coat plaster as mentioned, when it firms up scrape it back to being flush with the existing wall, apply a coat or two of easy fill or jointing compound over the top and flat back until an acceptable finish is acheived.

Before you cover it all up....
To the right hand side of the gas pipe in the pic, is there any damp?
Not sure what the vertical 'dark' pattern is.

id use bonding mixed with a HAND FALL OF CEMENT in it
just too cover the pipe space for top coat
then just spread over a coat of easyfill quickset
will all be dry and ready for sanding the same day
