Instead of removing the popcorn ceiling I decided to just put a layer of drywall on top of the existing popcorn ceiling.

I noticed the worker used the caulking instead of taping where the old and the new drywall meets.

Is this okay?

I have been seeing this a lot lately so I don't know if there is a new caulk on the market for drywall but in my experience the caulk will 'flash' under paint so it isn't going to give you a good finish and it will be noticeable. I would ask the worker what type of caulk it is and how it handles being painted.
