I think it's correct that it is a house rule. Robert's rules of poker states that cash is not permitted on the table at any times.
But...
I'm not sure about the Atlantic City rule. It was my impression that when you see people at the table with all that cash under their chips, it's so they can get more chips in the middle of the hand (why else would they do it?).
I beleive the money is considered in play if it's on the table. Hence the name table stakes. You are able to change money into chips in the middle of the hand, as long as it is on the table.
So I think daveyboy's friend is correct. An all in bet would have included the $20 in cash. Although in a friendly game, I think you need to let those things slide.
