I was under the impression she controlled it. Otherwise, there was no way to determine who ended up where, or with who. Think about the Katherine/David relationship - that was clearly engineered by Regina. As well as who remembered FTL and who didn't. There was no way to guarentee that Belle ended up in the asylum without her having some control. Also, her minions were in places she wanted them - Sydney was a reporter and Graham was the sherrif. I don't know that she controlled -everything- ... meaning their names and occupations and such, but I'm almost positive she was in control of their memories, and circumstances. She definitely had control over their happiness, because that was what her goal was.
