The rust package has multiple outputs. Its default output doesn't contain cargo, but it has a cargo output which you found in the store. You can install it with:

guix install rust:cargo

My guess is that curl comes from your foreign system? Guix packages don't read the global location. Have you performed these additional steps after installing guix?

guix-help would have been a better place for this one I think.

I hope this helped a bit :)
