No it is not true all rocks can be dated radiometrically. You need special minerals that do not add or loss elements easily during the different processes that a rock may under go.

Can carbon dating be used to identify the age of index fossils?

No, carbon dating is not used to date index fossils. Carbon dating is only effective on organic materials up to about 50,000 years old, while index fossils are used to identify the age of rock layers and are typically much older. Index fossils are dated using relative dating techniques based on their position in the rock layers.
