The primary difference is the the office manager is dedicated to the needs of the office, where as an admin (or administrative assistant is focused on the needs individuals. For example, the office manager might be responsible to communicate to the IT department that there is no internet access. The admin might be responsible for faxing documents for line managers.

It is also important to keep in mind that each company culture is different and the same word can have various meanings from company to company.
