Following is a response from Senior DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:
Your use of weights within the collapse command is sufficient for the aggregation. For analysis with urban/rural groups you would include v025 in the by() option.
Normally with collapse I use "[iweight=v005/1000000]" but it should be equivalent to what you did. In the aggregation there is no adjustment for the cluster or stratum effects that are part of the full svyset command but for a descriptive analysis that's ok. Weights are the only component of svyset that affect point estimates such as means and rates.
