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.

Walsh is an exceptional case. He was, indeed, sent to our world before the second curse was cast. However, because of this, he has no affiliation with the curse whatsoever, but Phillip and Aurora do. Alright, perhaps this is an implication that Zelena could transport individuals by other means. It doesn't prove that Phillip and Aurora are still immune to the curse's effects simply because they were flying monkeys at the time. Also, we don't know if Zelena sent them to Storybrooke in this manner because it was never explicitly shown. It's still possible that they both may have been transported via the second curse.
 * 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

Since she was in the form of a flying monkey during the time the curse struck, I doubt she was given modern clothing.

As I said in a previous post, Robin Hood and his merry men appeared to have no knowledge about our world either. When Little John presented him with the bow he stole, Robin remarked that he never saw one like that before. This implies they are not familiar with technology from our world and, as stated by somebody else, the owner of the shop that Little John took it from probably showed him how to use it.

Just because it wasn't hinted that she lost her memories doesn't mean anything. We don't know what it is like from the point-of-view of being a flying monkey. Perhaps she is aware of her surroundings and who she is, as well as her missing memories, but has an uncontrollable urge to obey Zelena.
