Moss grows anywhere it can. If an indoor surface is clean moss won't grow on it, but outdoors there's no such thing as a clean surface, so moss will grow there if the climatic conditions are right.

Yes, moss growing on the surface of a rock can contribute to chemical weathering.

Does moss damage concrete?

Living organisms may contribute to mechanical weathering (as well as chemical weathering, see 'biological' weathering below). Lichens and mosses grow on essentially bare rock surfaces and create a more humid chemical microenvironment. The attachment of these organisms to the rock surface enhances physical as well as chemical breakdown of the surface microlayer of the rock.
