I guess it kinda depends on what you are trying to do.

If these are db's on the same db cluster, then no action is necessary
since roles are shared among databases. If they are on different
clusters and servers, I think your approach will fail to synchronize
passwords if those are required. I would probably do a pg_dumpall -s
and use grep to pullout the create/alter role statements along with
grants.
