You are looking at the wrong destination.
Look in the directory you run ansible-playbook, you will find a directory 
starting with {
If you run ansible-playbook with -vvv you'll see what I mean.

The name on the include_vars means, put the content in the file under the 
variable dest, so you dest is actually:
dest:
  dest: /u01/app

It you add
  - debug: var=dest
after include_vars you will also see that.
