You are correct, at this time, each of the Dell EMC Ansible platforms that are currently supported have a Product Guide with specific directories that you need to move files into as part of the installation.
I am told that engineering is "...looking into creating collections for all the modules for all the platforms", which I believe will help address what you are looking for.
I've also heard that Ansible collections is the way to go for best practices. I think Ansible started with collections after 2.8 but not 100% sure.
According to our Ansible resource, Isilon and VMAX modules do provide collection structure but not the VPLEX. I would imagine that other vendors are going to follow the collection thread, I did hear from RedHat that it's the best way to manage their core modules
