Whilst what Tyler said was correct about snapshots until quite recently, it isn't any longer. No cloudwatch event or lambda required! AWS now has AWS Data Lifecycle Manager for this exact task:
Terraform has been updated with a new resource here:
https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/aws/r/dlm_lifecycle_policy.html
I have been working on a module and example for implementing this here- Terraform DLM module

This answer would be greatly improved with an example (even the one directly from the docs) and how it works to accompany the links to the docs. I'm also not sure your module is particularly useful as it doesn't particularly simplify things while being overly restrictive. I'd maybe drop the plug to your own module for now unless it's changed to be significantly more useful.

You'll either need to write a Lambda function in your favorite language that does this or wait for AWS Backup Service to be supported in Terraform. Other than the new backup service, there are no native features in AWS or Terraform that can do what you want to do.
