If I manage to construct objects in C++ by doing
Object o;
instead of
Object *o = new Object();
in every case, do I ever need to call delete or will all memory be managed automatically?

No. That object is allocated on the stack, and will be destroyed automatically when it goes out of scope. That includes freeing its memory and calling the destructor.
