That's the exact issue that needs to be cleared up (whether Aurora and Phillip were actually "cursed" not not) before we consider making SB counterpart pages for them. We know they were in Flying monkey form since before the second curse was cast by Snow White, and they remained as such until Regina stripped Zelena of her magic in SB.

In my opinion, seeing Aurora in modern clothes is not enough evidence to support she was cursed. That's her only changing clothes, which is the same thing Hook has done this season, yet it's more clear in his case he's never been cursed since he left the EF on both occasions prior to the curse casting. What I would like to know is if Aurora and Phillip remained in flying monkey form that whole time, can they be considered cursed? At the same time, it can be considered they were cursed since they were brought over to SB. As powerful as Zelena is, I doubt she could bring over her flying monkey pets by magic alone, especially since travelling between worlds requires a large scale of amassed magic to open a portal (a curse/magic bean/portal device). For the first curse, Regina had the power to take whoever she wanted. Did Snow White have the same power to do so, and is that why Aurora and Phillip ended up in SB too? Regina took whoever she wanted. And many people she didn't know came along as well. My opinion on the Curse is that it brought whoever the caster wanted to punish/rescue specifically (for Regina: Charming, Snow, Graham. For Snow: everyone she cares for) and only if you want to bring someone otherwise un-grabbable would the curse hand pick them and take them from other lands or circumstances (for example, Jefferson and Frankenstein, whose worlds were seemingly unaffected by the Curse. Especially Wonderland, as seen in the spin-off. And Henry Sr. and Daniel, who were dead. As the Curse only took the living.)

TL:DR the First Curse brings the vast majority of the Fairy Tale World (The Jolly Roger proves the Curse didn't even take the entire world, just massive parts of the Enchanted Forest continent) and also brings the corpses of Henry Sr. and Daniel due to Regina's power to bring anyone she chooses. This same power brings Jefferson from Wonderland (leaving the rest of the world unscathed, as seen in Once: Wonderland) and Frankenstein from Black and White Germany (presumably leaving it unscathed as well).

The Second Curse cast by Snow brings back EVERYONE from the First Curse to Storybrooke, along with everyone within the Curse's reach at that time, because knowing Snow, she would've wanted to "Protect everyone from Zelena's wrath". And we know that Ariel and Eric were outside of the Curse's reach from the information in The Jolly Roger, so there's still plenty of people (probably including Arendelle) who haven't been brought over with the Curse.
