I think it is very clear that they were cursed. Their memories were changed just like everyone else's did in season one. That still doesn't make it a curse. Regina never once referenced what she did to Emma to Henry as a "curse".

Semantics. Just because she doesn't use the word doesn't mean she didn't do it. She flat out calls them the same thing.

Each of the characters are a single person. They have different memories, but they are not two separate people. Henry has a whole life inside his head as Henry Swan, the same way Snow had the whole fake life of Mary Margaret in her head the day she landed in Storybrooke. It shows how overcomplicated and messy this system is.
