Not tested, but something like this should work
- getent:
database: passwd
- getent:
database: group
- name: Set group uids/gids
group:
name: "{{ item.name }}"
gid: "{{ item.gid }}"
when: getent_group[item.name] is defined
with_items:
- { name: "gomgroup", gid: "2000" }
- { name: "pyle", gid: "2001" }
And for the uid you need to add
when: getent_passwd[item.name] is defined
