I don't know whether a scene with Anna going through the portal was filmed and cut out or not, but I get why it happened, it meant you don't know how much Anna told Emma and co about what Rumple was up to, therefore in the scene with Hook you don't know that Emma knows and is on the way. Which adds to the narrative tension.
In my head the information Anna gives her leads her to put two and two together, after Hook's strange behaviour previously in the episode, and phones Belle who uses the gauntlet to find Rumple.
