The problem you have is that ansible does not retain the old state of the 
machine when it makes changes.  The fact that you executed the command 
"touch test_file.txt" does not indicate whether test_file.txt did or did 
not exist prior to running the command.  So to "roll back", do you erase 
the file?  Change the date-stamp back to what it was?

Probably the closest thing you will find is a "block" with a "rescue" 
section attached, to specify what you want to happen in the event of an 
error.
