Are you sure that it actually works? It didn't when I tested it (looks
like order matters).
Yes I'm sure, if not I would not have written it.

Is it possible to set variable before hosts in playbook?
Something like this doesn't work:
var:
VARHOSTNAME: test
- hosts: "{{ VARHOSTNAME }}"
gather_facts: true
become: yes
I know I can set variable in vars file or pass in environment values at
command line but wanted to know if i can just define variable directly
at
the playbook level.
You can have vars as part of the play
- hosts: "{{ VARHOSTNAME }}"
gather_facts: true
become: yes
vars:
VARHOSTNAME: test
Take notice that I wrote vars: not var: as you did.
