Well, unless the oil buzzer was on for a while, I don't think you did any damage. And if oil was registering at "L" or above on the dipstick, i'm sure you did no harm.
A young engine (40,000 km) should not be burning oil like that. Sounds like your oil seals or side seals are going.... and that = rebuild

Yeah, if nothing happened at the time (or shortly after) then nothing happened. You're fine.
I'd be more concerned about WHY a young engine like that is smoking like it's on its way out
