Will regular pump gas do any harm at all to my engine? My friend says I should buy premium gas because of the higher octane, but does it really make a HUGE difference in engine wear and tear?

yes,mx bikes are designed to run on premium pump fuel or better.the low grade fuel will most likely cause detonation(aka pinging) which is really bad for the motor and can lead to damage.

I use premium gas in my KX 250.....given how little gas it actually uses...the additional cost is minimal. My bike does run great on premium....and pinging can be very damaging....
