Is there any way to have something run for all tags? For example, ec2\_facts should always be run when working with hosts in AWS even if you want to use a tag to limit the tasks that you are running.

Nope, there’s no magic “all” right now. There is already a suggestion for this though (and maybe a pull request).

One option is to tag such steps with “common” and always include common.
