No.

They should not be merged, as they assumed a false identity with the name change to better fit in to this world. I'm sure if you asked them where they were from, they wouldn't say "From a magical world with dragons and fairies and evil queens, oh my." They would have a fake story just like the cursed counterparts, the only differences being they can age, they can go anywhere they want, they created their own "curse", and they can remember their lives before assuming a new identity. In fact the only difference between Regina, August, and Neil is Regina stopped aging during the curse, besides that she's the same: she can go anywhere (even though she only left Storybrooke like once or twice), she remembers her old identity, and she decided the terms of her new identity. The fact that they credit MRJ as Bae/Neil should further point to how they are using them as psudo-counterparts by the way.
