Jafar's history, at least what we saw in the 3 minute season teaser, does appear to occur between the time he transformed Amara into the staff and when he left for WL.

But what we don't know yet is whether we will be introduced to Jafar in Storybrooke. I think we will see him (which would beg the story of how Jafar is there, and whether is free from being a genie. but that topic is not for this thread). I also will leave open the possibility that Lydgate could appear in Storybrooke. When we last saw Lydgate, he had just met Jafar and the White Rabbit, and once he got over the shock of the event, he could very easily decide to try and find his own way into Wonderland, and in the process end up finding his way to the LoUS.
