I don't think he said that. If so, it's more of "the time-stopping" part of the curse effected all lands, including Arendelle and Camelot. It's so nice that they did conforim that there is a time-stopping part of Regina's Dark Curse. (Yeah, if he said something, I think it was about time-stopping which didn't need to happen in Arendelle due to Ingrid freezing them. So, doubly frozen.)

Truth is, Arendelle and Camelot weren't even things fully developed at that time, especially not Arendelle. Even the title card and promotion said "Enchanted Forest". Plus, Arendelle must be further away that the Camelot regions and Camelot castle. If Camelot Castle is roughly a day or so away from the Dark Castle by foot, then surely Arendelle is at least two or so days away by boat (which could be hundreds of miles).

I think the DC is unclear on who is brought because if Regina brings who she wants, then she shouldn't have worried about Cora. All I'd say is Regina seems to now be an unreliable source of information (specifically the writers making it that way).
