In general neither dynamic inventory scripts nor modules have access to host/group vars.
host/group vars are part of inventory, so for me it feels weird that an inventory script would need access to them, as opposed to providing them. As far as modules, you should require that the var be passed to the module. The only way to get this by default is to also write an action plugin that could pass the var to the module for you.
