Ansible supports S3 and all the operations supported by S3 API. You have to make sure that you have access to AWS CLI and also install python boto.  
This is the framework used for calling AWS API via ansible.

Also make sure that name you have giving to bucket should be unique when you are writing the playbook.

Hi,

I do have AWS cli and boto3 installed as I use those almost on a daily basis.

Yes,  
Thank you for the heads up on the s3 bucket, I just changed it in my post…

Thanks,
