(Just to note this contains a few spoilers for the Flowey Neutral ending, as well as some others.)

From my understanding Frisk never escaped to the other side of the barrier, but that's just my perspective on it. Considering I got the Flowey Neutral ending on my first playthrough, after defeating Omega Flowey and sparing him, you will then move through a entrance and the call will start. After the call, you begin a conversation with Flowey. Long story short, Flowey tells you that in order to receive your happy ending you need to spare every monster you encounter and then the game ends. If Frisk really did escape to the surface, I don't see how Flowey would have been able to follow. I agree with Guardion, it's either Frisk is missing or another possibility  (Perhaps Frisk is just transitioning through the barrier and hasn't fully left yet, although that seems unlikely.) since to cross the barrier you would need a human soul and monster soul and Flowey possesed neither. In my own personal head-canon, Frisk is lost after crossing for some reason (Hence why everything is pitch black, maybe it's just me but I imagined the surface would have been a bit more.. lively than that.) and never managed to reach the other side. But that's just me. I also thought that in the Flowey neutral ending Flowey was lost as well, which is why only you and Flowey are left in the pitch darkness, should you choose to spare him. But again, just a little head-canon I threw up together. It could possibly be a plot-hole like Guardion said, but with every deep storyline Toby threw in it seems hard to believe that this was just a mistake.
