the advice you have been given seems ok..
not sure if i would worry about the pva though...
dont over do it with the waterproofer either(look on container for quantity)
washed plastering sand is good..
ps...self employed plasterer 25yrs

no pva, just a splash of WATER.
people who work with cement swear by it.
