I used this play to install node 6.1.0 via nvm (node ​​version manager):

Note. You may need to change the hosts and connection in the game.

---
- hosts: localhost
  connection: local 
  vars:
    node_version: 6.1.0
  tasks:
    - name: Download the nvm(node version manager) install script
      get_url: url=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.31.0/install.sh dest=/tmp/install.sh

    - name: Install dependencies 
      apt: pkg={{ item }} update_cache=yes cache_valid_time=3600
      with_items:
        - git
        - curl
        - build-essential
        - libssl-dev
      become: yes
      become_user: root

    - name: Execute the nvm install script
      shell: bash install.sh chdir=/tmp executable=/bin/bash

    - name: Register the NVM_DIR
      shell: echo $NVM_DIR
      register: nvm_dir 

    - name: Install the specified node version using the nvm command and set it as default
      shell: . {{ nvm_dir.stdout }}/nvm.sh && nvm install {{ node_version }} && nvm run {{node_version}} --version && nvm alias default {{node_version}}
             creates=~/.nvm/versions/node/v{{ node_version }}

Based on the code in the original question and a helpful comment from @ydaetskcoR , I was able to install NodeJS 6.x with the following on Ubuntu 16.04:

- name: Add Nodesource Keys
  become: yes
  apt_key:
    url: https://deb.nodesource.com/gpgkey/nodesource.gpg.key
    state: present

# Note: "xenial" is ubuntu-speak for 16.04
- name: Add Nodesource Apt Sources
  become: yes
  apt_repository:
    repo: '{{ item }}'
    state: present
  with_items:
    - 'deb https://deb.nodesource.com/node_6.x xenial main'
    - 'deb-src https://deb.nodesource.com/node_6.x xenial main'

- name: Install NodeJS and NPM
  become: yes
  apt:
    name: '{{ item }}'
    state: latest
    update_cache: yes
  with_items:
    - nodejs
    - nodejs-legacy
    - npm
