I am creating a user via curl and assigning a it a role which is defined in roles.yml. Is that a valid way of assigning roles? Do I have to create roles via curl also?

Can role be picked from yml and user from API

That is valid, but I would question why you would choose to do that.
We recommend you use API for easy of maintenance, and only use files for the users + roles that absolutely have to work even when your cluster is red.
