Hi,  
I need to add new user to server1 and create his home directory on server2.  
Do I must run those part in separate Ansible roles or it can be in the same role and I can tell on which server run which part of the role?  
Thanks.

It can be in the same role, just use delegate\_to on task(s) to run it on another host
