I believe that if you want to use TFR2 to calculate fertility rates at the regional level, you could just open your dataset, keep the observations from one region, run TFR2, get the results, and then repeat for other regions. I do not believe (at least since I last checked) that TFR has a specific command to use sub-samples, but you don't really need it - just keep the observations from one region, run and repeat for the other regions.
You should definitely check the sample sizes for each region though, because these estimates are likely to be fairly noisy (and check the DHS report for the Pakistan dataset you are using to make sure that it was designed to be representative at the regional level).
