Following is a response from Senior DHS Specialist, Trinadh Dontamsetti:

The DHSID column you are referring to does not have a link to any of the variables you mentioned. The DHSID GN20050000001 is simply the country code (GN), survey year (2005), and the cluster number (001), spaced with placeholder zeroes. To link the GPS data file to the survey dataset, you will need to reference the DHSCLUST column in the GPS file, which should match v001 or hv001 from the recode. Doing so should allow you to match the two datasets.
