Chin ups primarily incorporate your lats. I think you mean pull ups.
Biceps are involved when performing pull-ups (not chin ups)
To build muscle, you have to recruit as many muscle fibres as possible (into the exercise). While pull ups and chin ups are excellent compound movements they do not completely isolate the biceps anywhere near as effectively as the 3 mentioned exercises.
You will see bicep development from pull-ups (especially if you're relatively new to weight training) but you will unlock some serious growth from using the 3 isolation exercises.
