In other words expanded polystyrene (Dow SM board or equal) is fastened to the desk and then held in place by slurry of concrete.
It sounds like a typical hot process roof where the tar holds the insulation in place instead of the concrete.
The only time you would ever mix an insulation into the concrete mix would be for lightweight concrete where something like vermulicite would be used not as insulation but as a lightweight filler.

If it is not a basement wall, you can skip the dampproofing. If you are in an area that is may have high groundwater you should use a waterproofing system on the wall with waterstop in the construction joints of the wall.

This works well for basement walls. The form cost is higher but the savings in labour and the fact that the walls are then insulated result in overall cost savings.
