Is this although technically a statement?

你去年出国几次

"You went abroad a few times last year."

Aside from context, would it also be more clearly expressed with a 呢?

Also - If this was to be a yes/no question, would 吗 do the trick?

If you added 呢, then it would definitely be a question and thus change the meaning to "How many times did you go abroad last year?" By adding "吗” instead of "呢," you'd be changing the meaning to "Did you go abroad a few times last year?"
