Replace vars_files with a lookup:
vars:
cluster_names: "{{ lookup( 'file', 'cluster_name.json' ) }}"
This automatically converts the file contents from JSON to a list.
You can now loop over that:
tasks:
- name: Gather info about all ESXi Host in given Cluster
vmware_host_service_info:
validate_certs: no
hostname: hostname
username: user
password: password
cluster_name: "{{ item }}"
with_items: "{{ cluster_names }}"
delegate_to: localhost
