That is a way to go about it.  This feature does exist and I would like to use 
it though.  Here you can see it working from an oVirt inventory source.  Notice 
the ManageIQ host is set to "off".  What must exist in my custom inventory to 
do the same for specific hosts?

    I've created a disabled[1] inventory group, which I add hosts into if I
    don't want to run plays against it.  Then, all my playbooks do the
    following[2]:
    
    - hosts: foo-group:!disabled
      tasks: ...
    
    All hosts in the foo-group, minus the ones in disabled will run the
    play.
