Following is a response from DHS Senior Sampling Specialist, Mahmoud Elkasabi:

Yes, your approach is correct. You need to de-normalize v005 and mv005 separately as you described, then you can proceed with Step 2. However, I believe the code you shared is missing the de-normalization for the men weights. See a revised code below.
*adjusting weights of men and women in combined dataset
gen newwt =.
replace newwt =( v005/1000000)* (xxxxxxxx/29461) if sex==2
replace newwt =( mv005/1000000)* (yyyyyyy/10760) if sex==1

*Step 2. Approximate the Level-2 weight
* f the variation factor
