All changes in plane are to be caulk not grout so those areas are the incorrect material already.

Only with removal of the grout very carefully. Sooner the better as grout gets harder as it cures over time.

You shouldn't worry about this as it can be corrected. I bet your tiler knows this and he/she definitely will correct it. Fortunately, there are a few methods that can help to remove even the most stubborn dried-on grout from tiles without damaging the finish of the tile.
