The way I see it is that Hook, Neal and Tinkerbell were not in LWM while the curse was cast. We know that the curse affected not only the EF but all the lands in some magical unexplained ways. So it did affect Neal and Tinkerbell since they werein Neverland, and Hook since he was in EF.

Ingrid, Cruella, Ursula and Lily were all in the LWM while Regina cast her curse.
