Many composite tubs are supported with mortar or cement. While it doesn't look very nice I'm sure it provides a good base for the tub. If the floor is concrete and not heated there could be a problem with the bottom of the tub being cold and cooling the water. The top deck of the tub doesn't look well supported, perhaps the installation is not complete.
