Like i said move your ansible-hostname into the roles folder (if you don't have one make one). As far as i know ansible only loads roles from the roles folder, which is probably your issue.
Also his documentation is wrong, he doesn't use hostname_domain, he actually in the code uses hostname_fqdn instead.
