Following is a response from Senior DHS staff member, Tom Pullum and Senior DHS Sampling Specialist, Ruilin Ren:

If you are asking whether you could construct a pooled weight that would be (in the HR file) shv005 for AJK and GB, and hv005 for the rest of Pakistan, unfortunately the answer is no. The weights would need to be rescaled, such that the total weights of AJK, GB, and the rest of Pakistan in the HR file would be proportional to the total numbers of households at the time of the survey. You would have to find estimates of those totals. You would also have to rescale v005 and mv005 for women and men.

We cannot help with that.
