I took another look at the Protocol. I believe that the EC acted under the emergency provisions allowing immediate implementation of the announced measure.

It seems to me that they did actually trigger it and very quickly reversed that. I'm obviously willing to be corrected.

As to Boris triggering Article 16, he would be being advised to provided notice (rather than going for immediacy) so they can get round the table to test the Joint Committee mechanism. If necessary he can implement a week later (I think).
