I don’t think August had anything to do with Henry getting to SB (the writers may have planned it that way at first, but then Eion wanted out–I’m not sure). I do think August’s role was in keeping Emma on track. August was manipulated (like the puppet he is) into making sure Emma wasn’t ever settled or happy. She had to be in the state she was in when we meet her in the pilot in order for Henry to have such a profound impact.
Perhaps August was reminded of his duty to Emma while he was out loosing himself–maybe a little fairy even whispered in his ear.
