Not for Aurora, as we see her in the s3 finale. NOTHING F*CKING CHANGED ABOUT HER -or Phillip- BECAUSE THE DARK CURSE. HOW CAN YOU EVEN KEEP SAYING SHE WAS CURSED??? Unless it was shown that flying monkeys (i.e., Phillip and Aurora) were transported to Storybrooke by some other means besides the Dark Curse, then it's a reasonable, educated guess that they are in town because of the curse. Yes, their clothing did not change like everybody else, but at the same time, there was no mention that they were brought to Storybrooke through any other methods besides Snow White enacting the Dark Curse.

P.S. Please refrain from any foul or offensive language on this wiki. I'm not saying I was innocent of doing something like that before in one of my past comments...back when I was a bit of a pessimistic teenager...but in the end, it's not a kind way to make your point clear. On a side note, we must not forget that this is a TV show. If the writers want to imply something, they SHOW it or HINT at it somehow. The Dark Curse transporting everyone from FTL to the LWM was shown and established several times. The Flying Monkeys coming along in a different way was neither shown nor hinted at by any line of dialogue or such. There's no reason to believe Zelena used any other means of trasnportation for herself or the monkeys.

Again, she sent Walsh to our world before the curse. So it has been hinted that the monkeys exclusively could reach another world without needing the dark curse.

Second point: she did not turn A&P into monkeys again after the curse hit. Why? Because it would imply that they've been affected by it, which it would have been showed/hinted when they turn back into their human form, and that's not the case.

I've already said Walsh is one person, not a whole army, so I'm not going to further answer that, as for your second point however:
 * Aurora kept her cape, her crown and even her haircut from "A Curious Thing" until the season finale;
 * She did not get her own home, nor new clothing ↑, nor a minimal knowledge about the customs of our world. Robin lived all the time in a camp in the woods, I'm not surprised he didn't guess what was a decorated bottle of whiskey in the house of a witch, but his Merry Men knew how to press a trigger.
 * It would have been hinted if she had lost her memories. Surprise, it's never been the case either! :D

Aurora kept her clothes because she, Phillip, and whoever else Zelena had as monkeys prior to the curse hitting stayed in monkey form the whole time, until Zelena was defeated and the curse broke, and they turned back into their normal selves. So that's why they are still in EF clothing. The second curse did not implant knowledge of our world to the second curse only crew, and it did not create homes for them either. Robin Hood set up a camp, because that's what he would do in the EF when he needed shelter, it was not created by the curse. If the curse had created a home, it would have been a log cabin or something. You don't need knowledge of a trigger to know how to press it, and besides the shop owner, who would have been a victim of the first curse, probably showed Little John how it worked when he bought it. And finally, Aurora may have lost her memories, but it doesn't matter because she was a monkey during that time, by the time she was human again, everyone had already had their memories restored, so Aurora wouldn't have lost memories, because they were already returned to her.
