You shouldn't do this, group_vars is special in Ansible and automatically load
variables from this directory.
So if you have a group called "mygroup" it will load the file
group_vars/mygroup.yml for all host in that group.
In your case this is for the group called "secretsios".
If this is only manually loaded variables you should choose another name since
group_vars has special meaning.

You aren't using the variable anywhere in your playbook so this have no effect,
and you shouldn't use variable name that is the same as Ansible directive.
Instead, you should create a file group_vars/cisco.yml since your host is in
the cisco group.
The content should be the same as your vars in the inventory of your first
example.
