I will agree with SWC above me. Well, partially at least. Storybrooke is more like an inter-dimensional hole or place. As we have seen with the spell around the first curse, later on again by Belle, and then in the second curse, the town is inaccessible from the real world due to magic. You can rarely travel to there, but almost always from Storybrooke. Ingrid pretty much walked right through where Storybrooke was supposed to be and had to use powerful magic to actually appear in the town.

Under the assumption that the Enchanted Forest is also the name for the entire world and a region too, I would could see separating those born in the LWM, Storybrooke, and EF, Oz, and etc.
