I don't know where you get node variable from, but the node in bigip\_fact\_out is dictonary and not a list so you can do this

- copy:  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;dest: /tmp/test  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;content: |  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;{% for key, value in bigip\_fact\_out.ansible\_facts.node | dictsort %}  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;{{ value.address }}  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;{% endfor %}
