When Rumple says he "made" it, it means he created Storybrooke and changed the targer of the curse, to everyone in the realm. I would like to know how the curse got into Bald Mountain, and who made the newest curse (and how does it work - did Hyperion Heights exist before, or did the curse create it,? etc.) Part of the issue is the "what does what". We don't know what the two original spells did. From Fiona's wording and implications about SB, the spell would banish those of her choosing to a specialized place in the LWM.

I don't think Rumple did much with the curse besides adding the safety net and guiding Regina to creating false identities, with Regina adding the failsafe on her own.

I think the Fairies placed the curse in Bald Mountain, probably outsourced the job because I don't see Blue going through all that work with poisonous bugs, dragon fire, and Chernabog.

The newet curse as far as I think is one of two things: Wish Queen's curse (as the curse scroll would still exist and she was banished somewhere); or created by the Coven. I think it's likely the first one.
