What is the fewest number of pitches that a pitcher in a major league baseball game can throw and come away with a complete game?

(A real complete game, not shortened by rain or anything like that)

Yes, the reason a balk is called is because the pitcher isn't allowed to stop his pitching motion to throw at a runner. Therefore, if there are no runners on base, there is no reason to call a balk.
