I am thinking about building an spv-like wallet using trusted nodes. It does not download blockchain. Instead, the wallet gets its utxo, transactions,balance data from abe.
My question is, can the bloom filter be used to filter UTXO?

I don't see your desired trusted full node setup.
But if you can control a the trusted full-nodes, you might consider using the REST getutxo command. It's more or less similar to a not implemented Bip64. In my opinion you don't need bloom filter for the getutxo command.
Don't expose the REST/RPC interface to the public. Instead build a reverse proxy with apache or similar.
Have you read BIP37?

What would be the benefit over regular SPV wallets? They don't download the blockchain either. – Murch – 2015-07-16T13:02:47.707
Do you mean filtering all data on Abe with your filter? If you're using Abe I don't see why you need to worry about bloom filters or SPV. – karimkorun – 2015-07-17T16:39:05.673
