CE marking allows a product to be imported/cross borders without barrier.

Correct.

If something is assembled and sold inside the same EU country (the product never crosses borders), who is responsible for CE enforcement? Is it only complaint-based, or are there authorities who scan the marketplace?

It varies. Most members states have adopted a 'complaint-driven' policy, but Germany and Austria (and maybe others) practise active market surveillance.
