Avalokiteshwara is a bodhisattva, but not a manifestation of the historical buddha of which you speak.

 

The job of the Bodhisattva in "Mahayana" Buddhism is to guide conditioned souls out of suffering into Nirvana. However, since the Bodhisattva has decided to remain forever on the cusp of entering Nirvana until all souls are liberated, they are really much more like deities than anything else.
