Regina's line about choosing who she brought was never meant to refer to Victor.

Regina tells Archie she brought her dead father because she chose to, not that she brought Frankenstein. She even adds "I don't care about Whale".

I, too, think that Victor, Jefferson and Will must have been in the EF by the time the curse reached the land. Will actually was confirmed to leave Wonderland, I guess. The other two, we can guess. The last we saw of Victor was a bout 20 years before the curse, it's not that unlikely for him to have left the Land Without Color. And Jefferson might have managed to leave Wonderland eventually, perhaps even along with Will.
