My lawyer had 30 days to file a response which fell within his planned vacation. He filed a motion to extend the response time. He billed me to file that motion. Is that standard practice?

Yes, a motion to extend time is a common motion, and the client is responsible to pay for motions filed by the lawyer in the client's case.  If the lawyer wasn't working on your case, it would not have been necessary for him to file the motion.
