Yes. First of all, every analytic subvariety of complex-projective space is actually algebraic (Chow's theorem). To determine whether the complex points of a variety form a manifold, it is enough to show that the variety is smooth. Determining the dimension of a connected component may then be done by checking the dimension of a local ring of a closed point of your variety (there are certainly other ways to check - there are several equivalent definitions of dimension).
