Yes. He must have been swept by the second curse. Which probably happened when Will and Anastasia were just starting to rebuild Wonderland which Alice read to her daughter that it happened. However this was 5-7 years in the future, after her and Cyrus' marriage. Their marriage occurred probably some time around 2.12 in OUAT time. So 3 weeks and a year later, Will could have been swept by the second curse and went back to Storybooke. Or he could have been swept before the missing year and during that time, there were no portals so he wasn't able to reach Anastasia. Maybe he is still trying to now, if it is even possible.
