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

Those commands are correct. However, in Stata, the results for pweight will be exactly the same with either v005 or v005/1000000 (try it both ways and you will see that). Also, you do not have to create the new variables. The following command would be sufficient:

svyset v001 [pw = v005], strata(v023)
