Following is a response from Senior DHS Stata Specialist, Tom Pullum:

Yes, your command is fine. You could simplify it slightly in two ways and get the same results. First, for pweights it is not necessary to divide v005 by 1000000. Stata will do this automatically, because pweights are automatically re-scaled to have a mean of 1. Second, vce(linearized) is a default and does not need to be specified. Thus your svyset could be simply this: svyset v021 [pweight=v005], strata(v023) singleunit(missing).
