Yeap, that is about it. That is not that long of a time. You really don't even need to top it off with fuel. 2 weeks is kinda a short timeframe.

If it's cold fill the tank and if you really wanna be cautious... when you get home, take the inlet oil port to the turbo off and squirt some oil in there. For 2 weeks I don't see a problem though.

2 weeks, nothing. 2 months, maybe. 2 years, definitely.

Normally , I would suggest fuel conditioner above all , to prevent Algae growth in the tank, but i see your location , it is still too cold up here for the algae to grow.

I park my truck for two weeks once a month when I come to work, it's nothing. The starter relay is in my back pack beside me 800 miles from the truck though!
