In all the examples for the Palo Alto Networks role, the vars.yml file is located in the same directory as the playbook, which is the same directory that you're executing ansible-playbook in.

Seems like you're not using the Palo Alto Networks Ansible Galaxy role in this playbook, so I guess vars.yml just contains the variables that you're referencing in this playbook.
