^ you connect to localhost, so inventory_hostname = localhost
Ansible does not care which hosts are in your inventory, inventory_hostname is
always the host the task is run on/for.

try something like:
- hosts: esx
tasks:
- name: foo
bar:
baz: blah
delegate_to: localhost
Then the task should be run once for each host, but always on localhost.
