And I agree about Regina having some "service" fake memories of her own, at very least the general knowledge of how the new relationships, statuses and locations of her citizens were, how to work with modern technology and, well, how to run a town. I thought in that occasion with Hook she simply meant she did not have her memories wiped out, so perhaps she could cross the city line without losing them again because she didn't in the first place. I don't think Regina had any fake memories. I think she knew how to do all that stuff because the curse showed her how. Just like Jefferson didn't have any false memories, but he knew how to drive. Jefferson did have fake memories. He stressed particularly on the "having two lives in your head is like going crazy" point, so he did have memories of two different people – The Mad Hatter and Jefferson from Storybrooke. He simply didn't have the old ones erased.
