Instantly, the ice is already melted. If the ice weren't melted, it would depend on what salt was used and the temperature of the salt and the ice. Certain salts, like magnesium chloride, melt ice much faster and at a lower temperature than table salt. If the ice is really cold it won't melt, regardless of what salt is used.

Does rock salt melt ice faster than epsom salt?

Yes, salt really does melt ice, but it can refreeze if the temperature is low enough. The idea is to create a salt-water mix that has a much lower freezing point. Generally, rock salt may be used, occasionally with other binders such as sand. An alternative to using granular salt is to spray on a solution of brine, sometimes mixed with other minerals or chemicals (usually not ordinary antifreeze because it is ecologically toxic).
