Not necessarily; it is also possible that the Wish Realm existed all along. Since the whole thing is so confusing, I created a separate section for it - notice how it says "All that is known about the early flashbacks with Rapunzel and Gothel is that they take place before Emma makes her wish in "Wish You Were Here". " It is not meant to indicate that these flashbacks take place in the middle of S5.
