Variables are lazily evaluated and computed per host. The issues with
set_fact are that the evaluation is happening before setting the
variable as ansible evaluates the expression to pass it to the task:

so

vars:
 varname:  "{{expression}}" # this is lazy


- set_facts: varname={{expression}} #var is set to result of
'expression' as it is evaluated for the task.

I hope that clarifies the issue.
