WinForms are actually back from the dead. They are part of .NET Core 3, coming this week.

If it's in .NET core, does this mean that WinForms will become cross platform (without having to use Mono)?

If only Microsoft cared to listen feedback a bit... the lack of a cross-platform UI (which existed for a while with Silverlight) is what is dragging back the whole .net ecosystem from wider adoption.

Unfortunately no, though I believe there are other attempts at cross platform GUIs whose names I can't remember at the moment...
