Following is a response from DHS Research & Data Analysis Director, Tom Pullum:

The cluster id (v001) is unique for each cluster. However, the household id (v002) is within clusters. That is, each cluster has a household 1, etc. Similarly, line number (v002) is numbered within households. Perhaps that is the source of the discrepancy.

To find out how many households there are you could enter a line such as "egen hh=group(v001 v002)" and then "summarize hh". The maximum value of hh would be the number of households in the survey.
