Rumple could have looked through a crystal ball, portal over there, and get Baelfire. Done, and done. They have presented really no reason for him not to have known. Are we to assume that he blindly went on with his plan without checking to see if his son was alive? Rumple knew his son was alive because of the Seer. The crystal ball probably doesn't work in LWM the same way Jefferson hat can't travel to land without magic. Rumple was also sure that he was in the LWM and not Neverland so he had no need to check the crystal ball if he think it would not work. It working in Neverland is another matter since there is magic there. So no its not PIS.

Also Rumple could not use the wand(since its not confirmed it is the BF wand) because  in order to use it, one must have created, selected the specific or use it. In Emma's case, she selected the journey and use the time portal. Rumple did neither of those things so he could not make a portal to the LWM because it was his son that use, choosed the journey and use the portal. He could problably had gone to Neverland though since he used the portal to go there but then again he had no idea his son was there.
