Im doing resistance work on my abs, like 80 lbs 10 rep sets. Someone told me that I can work my abs everyday.

Is this true?
How about my bicepts? Can I work them everyday and grow?

Or do all muscles need 1-2 days rest to grow efficiently?

This is a very subjective question. I say, it all depends on the workout. If you work on your abs using weights, then you should not work them everyday as it is just like any other muscle group. However, if you just do the basic ab workouts (without weights), which I've done in the past, that should not hurt at all since most of our daily activities involve the ab muscles.
