To merge the GPS data and the recode file, you will need to aggregate your recode data at the cluster level. The cluster ID variable is called v001 in the individual (women's) recode and hv001 in the household recode. In the GPS dataset, the cluster number is stored in the DHSCLUST variable.

Also, it is indeed possible to link the GPS dataset and data at the regional level. The GPS data contains one or two administrative levels that correspond to the levels at which the survey is representative. The administrative names are stored in the ADM1NAME and DHSREGNA variables.
