All it does it allow them to escape the cell, which they would have never been in if Rumple didn't tell them to go look for it. The ink didn't help them one bit, all it did was allow Aurora (controlled by Cora) to shut the gate on them in the cell and let Cora get the compass.

Was it just a plot device to get us to see how Rumple got his memory back?

I just thought that they used the squid ink to get out of the cell instead  of using it on Cora. We have no idea what would have happened if they'd left the cell and used it on her. It seemed to work as a disintergration substance - it might disintegrate anything that it touched - including people!!
