Thank you so much Professor Millimet. I appreciate your answer to my
question. I will definitely see whether -svy bootstrap- works in my
case.
Thank you once again.
Best,
Dan

This is necessary so that the bootstrap samples constitute random samples from the population (or are weighted samples with appropriate weights). So, my sense is, no, you cannot try and manually bootstrap your two-step estimates unless you account for the weights appropriately when forming your bootstrap samples.
