Not yet, but that might be something I have to do soon...

Looking at the documentation I could find it seems like that just adds two 
lines to two files then restarts snmpd.

## OUTPUT ##

adding the following line to /var/lib/snmp/snmpd.conf:
   createUser snmpv3user MD5 "snmpv3pass" DES
adding the following line to /usr/share/snmp/snmpd.conf:
   rouser snmpv3user


If that is the case then surely there isn't any issue with using Ansible to 
edit the files directly and then (if changed) restart the service?
