This is canon. Remember this discussion from that episode:
R: She sure grew up fast
Z: Not in our realm!
So Robin did spend some time between the 7x11 flashbacks and the 7x14 flashbacks in another realm...
Yes, I remember that. I've re-watched that scene several times.
In "Secret Garden", Robin told Zelena and I quote. "I'm 18. You can't control me." So, she moved to live in the New Enchanted Forest once she became a legal adult.
Here's some dialouge to further my point Robin never left Storybrooke until she was 18"
Robin: Back from where I'm from, I was never alone. That's when I felt the most trapped...Seriously, Storybrooke was insufferably quaint. Everyone knew your name and all your buisness, and one night I had enough.
Alice: What'd you do?
Robin: I hotwired the Sheriff's yellow bug. I stole it. I would've hit New York by morning if she hadn't caught me but for 8 glorius mintues it was just me and that bug and the wide open road.

Robin: It's called a smartphone. It held my entire life back home.

Robin was seeking adventure and she didn't get that until she moved to the New Enchanted Forest. Yes, Zelena told Regina, Robin didn't grow up fast in their realm [presumably Storybrooke] but as I mentioned, she was a legal adult when she left Storybrooke. So, I don't think that exchange of dilaouge has any merit.
If that's too say time in the New Enchanted Forest goes faster than time in Storybrooke, that would mean WAY more than 18 years passed in the New Enchanted Forest while Robin was growing up in Storybrooke, which I seriously doubt.
I have done my research on Once's timeline.
