vars_prompt goes on the play level, not the task level. It's not a task and you don't have control over when the prompt happens. It will ask you before the play starts to answer any questions in the prompt.
Just a helpful way to think about what can go in the task list: Is it a module? ( http://docs.ansible.com/list_of_all_modules.html). If not, then it can't be a task.
