Nope, it doesn't do this. Simple as that :) I'd suggest setting a role default instead, or putting a good default value in group_vars/all, and you can override that on the CLI with "-e".
vars_prompt in Ansible is not *usually* a good idea as it limits the ability of someone to automate a workflow in Ansible, since it's interactive.
