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

Yes, b3 is the century month code for the month when the child was born, and _01 identifies the most recent birth. Thus b3_01 is the cmc of birth of the most recent birth. I say "most recent birth" rather than "youngest child" because the child may not have survived. For ANC that's not relevant, but for immunization status, say, it would be relevant, because immunization information is only obtained for children who survived.
