Are the 11 variants on humans listed in Pathfinder Chronicles - Campaign Setting permissible in society play?

Not yet, only PHB races for now.

Possibly come August and the change to PF rules system.

Are you talking about the ethnic types? If so, then yes - they have no mechanical changes, so it's entirely a matter of fluff.

Yes the human ethnic types of Azlanti, Chelaxians, Garundi, Keleshite and so on, those are whom I'm referring to. I wanted to be sure they were permissible as the 'guide to organized play' only states "all of the options in the PH are available to you". And yes, they are all 'fluff' barring the Low Azlanti, or gillmen, who have some stat changes.

Also, I'd love to know if prestige classes are permissible. And if they are which ones? There are four (five if you count the lawful evil aligned Red Mantis Assassin, which I'd assume is not permissible in Society play due to evil alignment) in the 'Campaign Setting' guide and there is the free prestige class enhancement in the 'my downloads' section of this site.

There is no reference to prestige classes or these 'ethnicities' in the society organized play guide, so I'd really appreciate an official ruling on this, as they could enhance my players game tremendously if applicable. Thanks!

Long story short, if you want to start PFS with as many options as possible then you'll want to wait till August when Pathfinder goes live and the PFS rules set changes.

Personally I've been running PFS all year as it kept the momentum of 3.5's LG from dying in my area.

Given that LG's been gone for almost a third of a year now that momentum is gone and you may wish to wait for the Pathfinder release.
