A conductor does not absorb heat, it conducts heat so that the heat is evenly dispersed. It seems like it absorbs heat but it transfers heat to somewhere else.

Do all objects equally conduct or absorb heat?

No. The ability to conduct heat (known as thermal conductivty) is a unique property of a substance. Metals, for instance, typically conduct heat better than nonmetals. But diamond is the best thermal conductor of all. The ability to absorb heat (known as specific heat) is likewise unique for different substances.
