I want to make some abilities that give a hero bonus when he is invisible, is there ability to check that? Because Hide ability doesn't use any buff

How to check if unit uses ability "Hide" (like night elf warriors that make unit invisible at night when he doesn't move)?

It depends entirely on what is making the unit invisible/hidden. Their own ability? Shadowmeld? Windwalk? Sorceress cast invisibility on them? Permanent Invis?
Detect if a unit is invisble under Shadow Meld is old but hints at a possible solution:
You could move a different locusted dummy unit owned by Neutral Hostile with an actual sight range of like 50 or something onto the position of the potentially-invisible unit check IsUnitVisible against Netural Hostile. I expect that a hidden unit would return false and a visible unit would return true. By using NH you don't have to worry about revealing part of the map for a player, but you could probably use an unused player slot for the same purpose.
