Are Smoke Detectors required to be Photelectric when located 20ft horizontally measured from a bathroom even if the other smoke detectors are seperated by a wall from the bathroom?

No.

Get a firex brochure from your local supply house. They have pictures to show the ideal smoke detector to have in the different locations in a home.

That rule applies to a cooking appliance not the bathroom. You also have the option of using an alarm equipped with an alarm-silencing means in lieu of the photoelectric type.
