As you know, automata are deterministic if every word has a unique run, and that is the case iff there is a unique initial state and for each reachable state and input letter, there is a unique successor state.
The mentioned automata are deterministic since they have a unique initial state (it is a minterm that assigns every state variable a unique value), and since the transition relation is a conjunction of equivalences of the form next(q) <-> Phi(q,a), i.e., equivalences where the left hand side is a state variable and the right hand side is a formula without next-occurrences. Hence, whatever variable environment you have for the current state and input variables, the right hand side evaluates to either true or false and determines the value for next(q) uniquely. Since there is exactly one such equivalence for every state variable, the automata are deterministic.
