Tile is best placed onto cement or cement boards. With that stated Custom Building Products, one the biggest makers of tile thinsets and cement boards says it is allowable, although not preferred to install on CDX plywood but your total floor must be 1 1/4" with all subfloors. Back splashes in areas that are not exposed to steam or water can install onto plaster walls.

Can you use cement to tile on an asphalt floor?
If you are positive that it is asphalt I would not suggest adhering tile directly to the asphalt. If removal of asphalt is not an option I would install a subfloor and use thinset mortar to adhere the tile. Another option (probably the better option) would be to pour a concrete mix over the asphalt. Than use thinset to install the tile. The concrete will incapsolate the asphalt. Asphalt more than likely has oils in it and can be a hazard.
