Yes, but what if that's just for Regina? Meaning, the Curse rewrites memories in the way the caster wants.

Also, we forget; Regina stated that she brought who she wanted to Storybrooke... what if the Curse does the same for Pan, when taking the town to the EF? He's not going to want Emma or Henry there specifically.

It's plausible, in my head. There is, of course, a million other reasons Emma isn't there.
