I'd say it's used with Wine, as an add-on. That's more clear.

It's Tomb Raider that got a fix, not Shadow of the Tomb Raider. 2 seconds to view the issue report would tell you that

Actually , you're both right.

That tesselation update fixed both TR 2013 and Shadow of Tomb Raider.

Attention Nvidia users: For the first time ever, you have the ability to limit the tesselation factor, like you could do on AMD Radeon driver on Windows for years. This will allow you to witness first hand the absolute idiocy of "nvidia sponsored" and "gameworks" titles. Nvidia never allowed you to lower that factor, so you thought games were optimized and AMD just sucked. Try lowering that factor now, see if a 16x or even 8x factor really lowers image quality at most resolutions, and how much it costs in performance... Then you will understand why we call it gimpworks...
