The story that Hook told Bae about his dad having abandoned him might still tie into Rumple’s dad having left him, but only if Rumple’s dad didn’t die before his eyes.
I think only things actually shown during an actual episode is CANON… that allows the writers to play with the story and NOT be boxed in to the spoilers / theories we come up with.
Adam has said on Twitter that the cut scenes that ARE on the DVD are in fact canon. Things that are not shown on the DVD box sets remain up in the air. But I think it follows that not being on the DVD set means not canon.
