copy module creates the directory if it's not there. In this case it created the resolved.conf.d directory

- name: put fallback_dns.conf in place                                                                 
  copy:                                                                                                
    src: fallback_dns.conf                                                                             
    dest: /etc/systemd/resolved.conf.d/                                                                
    mode: '0644'                                                                                       
    owner: root                                                                                        
    group: root                                                                                        
  become: true
