The code you posted uses the quoted literal string 'ansible_password' as
the password.
If you want the use the variable, then don't use quotes:
password: "{{ ansible_password | password_hash('sha512'),
'mysecretsalt' }}"
Another problem could be that the variable name you picked is reserved:
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/inventory_guide/intro_inventory.html#connecting-to-hosts-behavioral-inventory-parameters
So pick something else, for example oracle_user_password.
