surface=tiles describes a smooth surface paved with ceramic tiles. Those are commonly used for paving indoor corridors in public spaces such as airports or shopping malls. Outdoors, they are sometimes encountered on smaller footways in parks and terraces.

It is possible that some uses of the tag are meant to represent surface=paving_stones or surface=sett, which are much more commonly used for outdoor surfaces than ceramic tiles.
