What I got from it was that every born in that world had to go back, except for Emma because she was the savior. Honestly, I think is episode was so freaking confusing, only because they are setting up for something really cool.

I think that what will happen is this. They will be in the EF for a while, shit will go down, and someone (bad witch?) will set a curse the resurects Storybrooke, but is different from the original. Then the show will consist in pre and post curse life (ala season 1) This would explain why we see EF and SB in the promo, and Belle (with a scottish accent? couldn't really tell) asking "who cursed us?" Robert Carlyle better find a kick ass way to come back.
