He connected the bathroom cabinet with lighting exactly as described above. He also did not connect a moisture-resistant lamp for the ceiling lamp. When touching the wet tiles after showering, you would get an electric shock.
The cabinet was then connected by a professional company.

However, much more was wrong than just a "missing" heat shrink tubing in the junction box. The fact is that an RCD is mandatory. If this as well as all other rules and standards are followed, you definitely will not get a shock from the wet wall.

Bathrooms are not considered wet rooms according to VDE. In commercial settings, it looks a bit different, and if the wall conducted leakage current in a damp state, that certainly wouldn't have happened with an RCD. Dangerous sloppy work was done there.

Damp wall and electricity do not sound like leakage current but damaged insulation in the wall. I have also had exactly this case before.

Also in this case, a residual current device (RCD) will trip if present.

If there is an RCD in the meter cabinet, can it then be assumed that all circuits are protected?

Bathrooms do not necessarily need their own RCD (= FI), but they must be protected by one. In principle, you should have significantly more than just one RCD in the distribution board, unless your house is already several decades old.
