Did rob Stewart actually get flesh-eating disease while filming sharkwater?

It is most unlikely that he had necrotizing fasciitus . In necrotizing fasciitis, aggressive surgical debridement (removal of infected tissue) is always necessary to keep it from spreading and is the only treatment available. Diagnosis is confirmed by visual examination of the tissues and by tissue samples sent for microscopic evaluation. Since he did not recive surgical debridement, it is not likely that he had necrotizing fasciitis.
